This year’s theme:
Participants will have access to the full FabLab — 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, microcontrollers, and electronic components — to bring their ideas to life under time pressure. It’s not just about creativity: it’s about .
- Encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration among engineers, designers, and developers.
- Promote rapid prototyping skills and practical innovation.
- Showcase how FabLab tools enable real, testable solutions to energy challenges.
- Inspire creative thinking around sustainable technologies.
- Teams of (mix of mechanical, electrical, and software backgrounds recommended).
- 24 hours to design, prototype, and present a working concept.
- All parts must be (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC, or electronics assembly).
- External pre-made kits are allowed only for sensors or controllers.
- Jury evaluates based on:
(originality of the idea) (working prototype or proof of concept) (efficiency, manufacturability, aesthetics) (clarity, teamwork, impact)
