Organisation
Cours/TD/TP/projet/examen : - Heures programmées / Charge Totale : 8/50 Ce challenge est organisé en commun avec IMT-BS et l’ENSIIE sur une semaine bloquée. Tous les étudiants doivent participer à ce programme en réalisant une étude dans un groupe mixte d'étudiants ingénieurs et managers.Learning objectives
By the end of the Challenge, second-year students at Télécom Sudparis will be able to :
Divide work between different team members and coordinate their actions
Prepare for the launch of a business in all its aspects, as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
To achieve this, students and their teams must be able to :
Pose a problem and invent a solution that can serve as a basis for the creation of a start-up.
Seek information on a market and a technical environment.
Discern relevant information
Describe the market and technical ecosystem in which the start-up project will progress
Iterate and modify the project according to the information gathered, to make it credible and feasible both technically and commercially.
Outline the technical operating mode of their solution
Search for and select tools enabling them to produce technical prototypes adapted to their needs
Design a model of an original product or service
Plan the realization of a project over several years from a global point of view, i.e. from both a technical and commercial point of view: plan clear milestones concerning teams, solution realization, marketing stages, start-up financing, etc.
Make hypotheses on each aspect of a start-up launching project: technical, marketing, commercial, structure, etc.
Justify these hypotheses
Present the key points of a project clearly and concisely
Script the presentation of a business plan

Content
An educational competition which, as participants in previous editions have pointed out, can be defined as: “a project outside the box”, or as a new way of learning and applying: “we learned a lot in a very short time”, “the atmosphere was both professional and student, between competition and conviviality”.
The Challenge Projets d'Entreprendre® is structured around a supervised action-based teaching approach, and brings together the campus's two grandes écoles, as well as corporate partners and guest schools.
The program requires participants to apply a certain number of techniques and skills that a young engineer or manager should be able to apply in a business environment: the ability to cooperate, to meet an objective under resource constraints, to manage the complexity linked to the interweaving of technological and managerial dimensions, and to deal with the unexpected (human, technical problems, etc.) in order to produce a professional business plan.
Over the course of a full week (172 hours), more than 100 student teams, made up of both engineering and management students, work on innovative business projects, particularly in the IT field, and are required to present a “business plan” to juries made up of pros, entrepreneurs and research professors of the campus.
Students have access to an online resource center hosted on the Moodle platform, where they can benefit from the methodology for producing a business plan, course materials, examples of business plans, etc.
Over the course of the week, students alternate personalized coaching sessions with practical workshops on the commercial, financial, legal and HR aspects of launching an innovative start-up, as well as presenting a project to investors.
Over the hole week the teams are supported by experts in business start-up lunching, as well as by lecturers and researchers from the campus, who already provide support to the campus business incubator.
Evaluation
To pass the UV Challenge course, students must obtain a mark of 10/20, based on the oral presentation of their project in front of a jury. Details of the evaluation process are given in the Challenge rules and regulations posted on the Moodle platform.
There is no second session.
Assessment formula
Pour valider l’UV Challenge, l’étudiant doit avoir une note de 10/20, cette note résultant d’une part de la notation du projet présenté sous forme d'oral et de vidéo évalué par les enseignants-chercheurs du campus, d’autre part de la notation de la participation de l’étudiant à la semaine Challenge. Le détail de l’évaluation figure dans le règlement intérieur du Challenge mis en ligne sur la plateforme Moodle.
Il n'y a pas de deuxième session.
