Communication, teamwork and other generic skills are the current mantra 
at universities. But this is not exactly new.  I was updating my notes 
for helping teach in the ANU Techlauncher program, and realized I have 
been doing it for eight years. On Thursday 200 student listened to 
clients pitch their projects, then formed teams to implement them. There 
are also about 40 interns working in companies and government agencies.

The ANU Computer Science and IT building now has "The Hive", the ground 
floor of one wing set up like an industry co-working space, where teams 
can work, in the open plan space, and use the meeting rooms. It features
