19th February 2008
The Grand Final of FLUX 2008 is being staged in the University of Plymouth's brand new state-of-the-art Roland Levinsky Building in the heart of the city. We're a stone's throw from Jury's Inn where all of the teams are staying. The hotel is also a short walk away from the city's historic Barbican area and the venue for the Monday evening drinks and networking event at the Black Friars Distillery of Plymouth Gin. The teams will be competing against 9 other teams from throughout the UK in the two-day event. Click here to see who the teams are so far.
The FLUX team will be in Plymouth to meet and greet teams and champions on Sunday 16th March.
One winning student, Sam Reece from MMU said: "FLUX was honestly one of the best days I have taken part in whilst at university. A totally thrilling experience!!! The day was well organised throughout, with a clear schedule and emphasis on the participants. It is an excellent way of evoking a greater level of confidence within yourself whilst teaching you how to apply your own knowledge."
"Don't get me wrong, it was also one of the hardest days as well. The pressure you are put under from an early stage is challenging yet exhilarating, you have to learn as you are going along. The element of competition gives the event a real thrill factor. It is hard to fault the Dragons who are nothing but honest and, also offer advice and encouragement all the time. The key for myself was to really immerse yourself in the situation you are thrown into with complete strangers, learn early to work as a team and respect everyone's opinions. Listen to what they have to say and learn from their experiences and advice. All in all a top day even better because we won!"
