During this two day program students from multiple schools will work in small design teams to plan, prototype and showcase a chocolate product of their creation. 

Using knowledge gained from the day one workshops and skill up sessions, students will lean on team members strengths to help set goals and achieve outcomes in a challenging environment. The design program emulates time and resource pressures associated in similar industry environments, with students given the flexibility to choose where best to spend their time and resources to reach their product goal. 

Industry representatives are invited to the second day to support the students in their showcase development and assist in judging products and outcomes. Finalists are chosen and prizes are awarded to teams.
