LEMAR MOORE: [? A ?] Sprint at Cornell Tech is an intensive period where the team of folks in a product studio challenge work on their idea.

HANNAH XUE: The sprint is very unique experience. So it's almost like a mini hack-a-thon. 

ATUL SONI: We have these throughout the course of the semester. And it's almost kind of a forcing mechanism, a 24-hour period where we really sit down and work on a certain aspect of our project. 

KIYAN RAJABI: We all have different responsibilities, outside commitments, classes, homework assignments. But this 24-hour period allows us to all come together. 

JAIMIE WOLMAN: Even if you don't necessarily need 24 hours to work on your product, it gives you the opportunity to bond with your team in a way that you normally wouldn't, because everyone's schedules are so crazy. 

LELAND RECHIS: You just get into this mode of really looking at how can I dig into this problem? How can I build something and kind of really push my hypothesis forward as a team? 

ZAID HAQUE: For some of us, it was probably the first time that we worked with people from very diverse backgrounds. 

SPEAKER 1: We all come from different backgrounds. So I'm an MBA. [INAUDIBLE] a CS. Kiyan's in health tech. And Adam is a lawyer. 

JOHANAN OTTENSOOSER: I've got two MBAs working with me and two engineers. And we just finished our second sprint. And in 24 hours, we built a narrative complete product that we were able to tell our story with and test in real life. That's not something I could have done in a pure law course. 

High five. 

HANNAH XUE: You have this presentation where everyone gather around you, share all your work you've done in the past 24 hours. And you get a lot of useful suggestions, ideas, and they're really constructive. 

SPEAKER 2: We're the Google CIO team. 

SPEAKER 1: I'm Chelsea. This is Kiyan, Adam, and [? Arin. ?] We're the Merck team.
