Team Formation
We will form START teams during the first 2 weeks of semester.
How It Works
We will share the project descriptions with you and give you the opportunity to express preferences, along with other students you would like to work with, and your preferred days in the Hive. Considering all these elements, we will run a process to assign students to projects.
As TechLauncher exceeds 300 students per semester, this approach accommodates our scale, without applying too much pressure to students, stakeholders, or the ANU team. Our primary goal will be to ensure every student has a team and project. Allocations are final and last for 2 semesters.
Timeline (S1 2026)
| Week | Activity |
|---|---|
| Week 1 (23-27 Feb) | Orientation Lecture. Project briefs shared with students. Preferences form opens. |
| Week 2 (02-06 Mar) | Student preferences form due. Students assigned to teams & projects. |
| Week 3 (09-13 Mar) | Start teams begin. Planning with tutor in The Hive. |
Team Size
Each team will comprise 4-7 students. The team size should be appropriate for the size of the project, and should be made up of a diverse & appropriate skillset.
