Five years ago, the program is formed with the spirit of creativity, cross-discipline and starting a business. According to the organizer Prof. Hsu, Taiwanese students are passive in terms of learning because of the status quo of the education system.

Teachers from three universities must spare extra time and energy in this program. Students also put a lot of effort into the projects. Though the three universities are located near each other, it's not an easy task to have students be together for group discussion.
