The last instructions and then the departure signal.

At this level, students have to surpass their own standards. Everyone was making a project that was very elaborate: a coat lined with a fabric that was 100% high quality wool. The competitors had sixteen (16) hours spread over two days, to design the pattern and make the coat.
