The Immersive Design Challenge is now open to higher-education students worldwide, offering an opportunity to apply creativity, engineering and digital tools to sustainability-focused problems.
The competition invites participants to explore how immersive engineering and advanced visualisation technologies can be used to tackle real-world challenges while strengthening both technical and digital skill sets.
Focus
The challenge centres on sustainable design, encouraging students to embed environmental and societal considerations into their ideas.
By blending immersive engineering principles with digital design and visualisation tools, participants will develop solutions that are not only inventive but also practical—preparing them for future careers in engineering, design, and technology.
Benefits
Participants will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies, build strong digital competencies and cultivate a design mindset that bridges creativity with technical problem-solving.
Industry experts will mentor teams as they refine their concepts, build prototypes or digital visualisations and consider how their ideas could be scaled into real-world applications.
Who can apply
The programme is open to:
-
Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in higher-education institutions worldwide
-
Individuals or teams interested in immersive engineering and sustainable design
-
Students looking to connect with industry professionals and expand their digital skills
No prior professional experience is required, but applicants must be motivated to participate in an intensive design and innovation process.
Application requirements
Teams must submit innovative ideas supported by visualisations, prototypes or other materials that clearly communicate their concept.
Entries should demonstrate a blend of sustainability, creativity and practical feasibility. Participants will also take part in feedback and mentorship sessions throughout the challenge to strengthen their final submissions.
