Student Loop Forges Forwards After Winning Brentford Dragons’ Den
At the moment, there is not an easy way to get in contact with students on different courses even within the same faculty. This makes recruiting people with specialist skills, especially for complicated projects, very difficult.
Student Loop can offer a solution. We want to create a communication hub, that’s central in connecting students from course to course for the purpose of networking, collaboration, sharing information and any other pursuits they want to follow and share.
