Hey I’m Zeynep – I’m studying MBE at Steinbeis SMT and I’m going to tell you about our stay abroad in the USA and give you an exclusive insight into the enriching stay at the renowned Indiana University Bloomington. In May 2023, we had the unique opportunity to spend a week at this outstanding university in the USA and gain extraordinary experiences.

Indiana University Bloomington impresses with its size and diversity. The sprawling campus covers an area of more than 3,200 hectares and offers numerous facilities, including libraries, lecture halls, laboratories, sports facilities and restaurants. We were fascinated by the lively atmosphere and the countless opportunities available to us on campus.

The stay also offered us the unique opportunity to learn from highly qualified professors and take our knowledge to a new level. These outstanding experts inspired and supported us through their engaging lectures and interactive discussions.

The special challenge was the “Idea Blitz” concept. We were taught the principle and procedure of the “Idea Blitz”. We were divided into teams and had the task of developing innovative products or services together in breakout sessions and presenting them to the jury, consisting of professors from Indiana University. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and competitive spirit as we presented our ideas with passion and conviction. The winning group received an award for their outstanding presentation and innovative idea. In recognition of their hard work and dedication, they were rewarded with a special gift.

The teams were supported by professors throughout the development phase of their idea and received valuable feedback. We would also like to thank our partners and supporters, especially Indiana University Bloomington, for the great collaboration and the opportunity to give our students such an enriching experience abroad.
