More than 80 Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½Design School students worked virtually around the clock in the annual student-led Made in Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½24-hour Design Challenge.

This year, as they couldn’t work together physically, the Made in Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½team created a unique, virtual Michael Sterling Building where our new Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½Design School is based. Students collaborated on nine live briefs from eight real companies.

First-year students to doctoral researchers worked in groups and had a six-hour time slot to manage an aspect of the design process, from sketching an idea to creating a 3D mock-up of a product.

The challenge gives students a feel for the real-life scenario of understanding a brief, creating a storyboard, and working to tight deadlines.

Project submissions are with the industry professionals, and some of the companies have requested further development of the projects.

Well done to our Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½Design School students!
