Talent showcase
The seven 2006 teams comprise four from Scotland, one from Northern Ireland, one from Ireland, and one from Canada.
The seven Chinese and Indian students, whose places were funded by the Scottish Executive's Fresh Talent initiative, have each joined one of the teams.
The 10-week competition will see the participants receive daily support and weekly training sessions from industry specialists.
Their ideas will then by judged by a panel of experts and prizes awarded to the teams at an awards ceremony and talent showcase in August.
