Both locations and products varied vastly. Some teams were sent to Scarborough, Doncaster and Hull, while others stayed in York, on campus and in the city.
Products the teams were selling ranged from Team Zeal’s camping/ festival kit, Team Laboratorium’s beach towel-cum-bag, to Team Fiat’s digital pens, which can record everything you write and convert it into word text in the computer.
The challenge managed to raise around £300-£400, with Team Zeal making the most money.
According to York Entrepreneurs’ Society Co-President Matthew Freckelton, Team We’re Going to Keith chegWIN and Team Laboratorium both showed solid teamwork. He also said that the teams had improved overall over the past two days.
“After working a day with each other, all the teams are now more able to tailor to each other when working together,” said Freckelton.
Team Fiat and Team Forte were eliminated in today’s round, leaving only six teams in the competition.
