Problem Solving
The ACE Organising committee has approached four different companies in Japan and has asked each of them to introduce a problem their company is currently facing. When applying to the ACE conference, the participants will be assigned to one of these 4 problems and will receive a summary of the their assigned problem months before the conference.
Engagement in English
All of the problem solving discussions and group presentations will be in English.
Rich Discussions
Through rich discussions with your problem-solving group, you will try to come up with innovative ideas and creative solutions to your assigned problem.
Knowledge Sharing Through Presentations
Each group will present their innovative ideas and creative solutions to a panel of teachers and a company representative for feedback.
Social Networking Before and After ACE
Before the ACE conference, you will be invited to join the ACE Facebook page and a Line Group to connect with other members of your problem-solving group. This will help you to make new friends and also share your ideas and ask questions about your assigned problem. After the ACE conference, you don't have to say good-bye to your new friends or forget about the innovative ideas you worked so hard to create! Stay connected to your new friends on the ACE Facebook page and continue to build on your ideas! The ACE organising committee realises the power of collaboration and encourages all of the participants to put their creative minds into action in their community.
