The Autodesk Designathon 2024 was an amazing event! The two-day online student competition to design a green tomorrow brought together 103 teams consisting of 272 students who represented 29 educational institutions in 12 countries.
The Designathon asked the students to work together in teams to come up with solutions to manage waste collection using their modelling and design skills. The competitors designed waste collection vehicles that can operate on both land and in the sea.
