You can schedule your group work with your group as you wish (within reason). Group and supervisory meetings have mandatory participation, and they happen at specific times.
What have they built
Like greek to me? Don't worry, since 2017 we have had projects of every level, from "dog ate my homework" to "teachers amazed". I have guided the projects with Harto Holmström, but the real work has been done by the students. You can see their names or nicks in the linked articles. On the final presentations they usually find that they could not have believed in the first day what they would succesfully build.
