In six minutes, the student had to present his concept of solving the case, the economic justification and the novelty. Each team was original in its own way, from the name to the energy-efficient modern technologies presented. For example, the use of high-temperature superconducting materials, the use of dry water in transformers, the use of virtual and augmented reality, and much more were proposed.
