4) Once your team is formed (make sure you check eligibility criteria, see below), prepare a short joint Motivation letter and submit it to the company through the platform by 30 May 2024.
5) If the Motivation letter is approved, you may begin solving the challenge presumably at the end of June / beginning of July 2024.
