Since then, they've redesigned hardware, debugged their own code, and learned to work the way professional engineers do, one failure and fix at a time. This is a story about what happens when students are given a real problem and trusted to solve it.<\/p><div class=\"premium-blog-excerpt-link-wrap\"><a
