City of Glasgow College gave teams of students the opportunity to present on their product ideas. The winning teams continued to the next stage of the project pilot where a panel scored their pitches according to 6 criteria:

• Quality of research

• Identification of market segment

• Response to brief

• Originality of product

• Use of materials

• Ease of production
