Students from three schools have three minutes to present their projects and convince the jury members in order to win one of the five Chal'enge Challenge Awards.
This is the challenge facing students at the Institut Image in Master of Science and second Master of Science in "Digital Engineering" within the "3D Interactive Technology Management" program, as well as students atthe IUT de Chalon-sur-Saônein the professional bachelor’s program in “Image and Sound Techniques and Activities” and those at Lycée Mathias in the BTS program in “IT Services for Organizations.”
Launched on December 7, 2017, the student "challengers" defined the specifications for their demonstrators. From January 17 to 30, 2018, they worked in pairs to build these demonstrators for the participating companies. This Thursday, February 1, at 4:00 p.m. at Nicéphore Cité, the pairs will have three minutes to convince a jury made up of companies and elected officials from Greater Chalon, with five prizes to be awarded at the end:
- Economic opportunity,
- Power of persuasion,
- Innovation,
- Favorite,
- best communication.
New this year, the number of prizes awarded has increased from three to five, given the participation of students from the Chalon-sur-Saône University Institute of Technology (IUT) studying for a professional degree in "Image and Sound Techniques and Activities" and those from Mathias High School studying for a BTS (Advanced Technician's Certificate) in "IT Services for Organizations," for whom the "best communication" category has been opened.

- Saint-Gobain for its immersive risk awareness application in a factory, winning the persuasiveness award.
- CRM Industriefor the immersive visualization application of a mechanized spiral staircase for the audience award.
