Let's say I was so lucky this year to get the opportunity of being a part of my team who participed in the Morrocan Startup Competition which took place in Oujda - the capital of the Oriental- , also it was a great opportunity to meet a lot of beautiful people which who I spent a wonderful weekend and from I learnt a lot of things that I'm really grateful.
First this Startup Experience introduces students especially college students to the entrepreneurial mindset and provides hands-on training in high impact entrepreneurship, participants develop creative capacity, entrepreneurial confidence, and acquire the necessary skills to build scalable startups that solve real problems during only 72 hours where you have to define the problem by working with your startup team to select a problem area , analyze the context and define a problem statement , secondly it's the creation phase where you can get inspired by technology trends and use Design Thinking to generate lots of new ideas then comes validation that means Experiment and test whether you have found a big opportunity by validating your assumptions with potential users after comes the building phase where you develop a business model and build a prototype so you can demonstrate your idea,
an example of The Business Model Canvas
and finally you have to pitch or "the three Ps"which means Prepare, Practice and Present your new startup idea to an expert panel and get valuable feedback.

Our startup was an online plateforme and an android application which helps students to learn foreign languages and practise it with people around the world , students are oriented by teachers around the world .
The main problem we reconize was the fact that most of Morrocan students in high school or even in college find problems with communicating using foreign laguages basically frensh and english so we aim to help them in order to perfect their pronunciation and enlarge their vocabulary.
It was an amazing experience where I learnt how to work in group,respect others point of views , listen to others and most of it was how to talk in a public and try to convince them which was the hardest part, unfortunately we didn't win the competition but we win a lot of principles we can use in our real life.
