Notes on: [[What makes a good project?]]


In 2019, we estimate there will be 106 students, so about 18 project teams of 6 (two with only 5 students). We aim to advertise at least 20 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
In 2024, we expect there will be 138 students, so 23 project teams of 6. We aim to advertise at least 25 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
