Before you arrive: Ÿ It would be great if you know some of the key concepts before you arrive. Please watch

these videos about creating a successful pitch: https://vimeo.com/81081869 https://vimeo.com/81196336 Link: https://www.crowdcube.com/pg/creating-a-successful-pitch-1373 Ÿ To provide more context, this is a great article about Smart Sustainable Cities:

http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/urban-sustainability-smart-city-future Ÿ 2 weeks before the course, we will send you a link and log-in to Moodle, an online

teaching platform. At this point, please familiarise yourself with it, there will be some helpful resources and videos, again, to give you some of the basics. Ÿ Before you arrive, you will need to send a 100 word bio about yourself, your

studies/interests and what you hope to get out of the boot camp, as well a 100 word proposed business idea. Please send this to d.heffer@mmu.ac.uk, no later than Friday 13th May.

What to bring?

1) After you have completed the light reading, please bring a Smart Sustainable City-related idea to propose and discuss with your group on arrival.

2) Notepad, tablet, laptop, pen, pencil or ink and quill, whatever works best for YOU. 3)Yourself, and an eagerness to engage, discuss and challenge yourself. This is an opportunity to develop yourself, personally and professionally.

Remember!

Manchester is a diverse and cosmopolitan city, fully of many languages, cultures and religions; embrace it, it is why we love our city.

The city is growing rapidly, with new buildings, tram routes and developments popping up all over. This means there are roadworks and diversions across the city centre, so it is always best to walk when you can.
