Every month, Makers Empire hosts an in-app 3D design competition giving students around the world the opportunity to test their Design Thinking skills against their peers. Keen to have your students compete in this month’s competition? Check out more details here.
For May’s ‘Family Treasures’ competition, students were challenged to design a model of an object that had been in their family for a long time. They had to explain why this object was special to their family in the description.
Students from all over the world submitted almost 15,000 entries for the ‘Family Treasures’ competition. We really enjoyed looking at all the entries although it was quite challenging picking the standout designs! Ultimately, we found the following designs exceptional, so without further ado, congratulations to the following winners and runners ups!
