 Upon arrival at the facility, students will be greeted by S.W.A.G. team members along with HPE executives, Manju Abraham, Praveena Patchipulusu, and Lloyd Santy. They’ll then be given a brief overview of the process, including the schedule, logistics, and judging criteria. Once complete, the students will be divided into teams to begin work on their chosen topic. Between 10 and 12pm students will rotate between taking a tour of the HPE Customer Innovation Center (CIC) and working on their community problem, breaking it down into solvable pieces, coming up with solutions, and preparing their presentations.
 
-As a part of their tour of the HPE Customer Innovation Center, students will be introduced to many of the amazing products HPE produces and how they probably already experience these products as part of their everyday activities – from bringing real-time location context to mobile apps in stores to immersive and connected experiences at theme parks.

+A special focal point of the CIC tour will be at a kiosk housing a model of the Millennium Falcon where the students will learn about HPE's partnership with Disney to bring about one of the most immersive experiences ever at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at the Walt Disney World Resort. Considering the date of this event, it certainly seems to be an appropriate tour stop. We can already imagine students calling out greetings of "May the 4th be with you". In the CIC, students will also learn about our work with auto manufacturers to bring greater safety to vehicles and how supercomputers are used to help unlock unlimited supplies of clean energy, potentially sparking some ideas for their projects. 
 
 From 12-1:30pm the teams will present their solutions, have lunch, and participate in some fun activities that include games and a movie. Afterwards, the finalists will be selected and students will move to the outdoor lawn for the Award Ceremony.
