Designathon 2023 on 15 – 16 December was a fantastic experience. We saw students of industrial design and engineering come together to gain digital skills. And, they competed for the honour of being recognised as the best international team in the competition.
The Designathon asked them to respond to a challenge facing communities around the globe, using their modelling and design skills. They were asked to model a product for growing crops with renewable energy.
The Winners of Designathon 2023
1st Place
Team YİNG YANG from Türkiye
Members: Ahmet Kaya and Ömer Kağan Yılmaz
This project had one of the most detailed models among the competition entries. It features a design that is tailored to ensure that multiple plants could be stored on shelves but with each plant positioned to maximize exposure to sunlight.
The electronic components, the elements responsible for plant care, and additional components like solar panels have all been modelled in great detail, making full use of Fusion’s capabilities.

2nd Place
Team Titan from Nigeria
Members: Kolawole Alao, Oluwaseun ADEYERA, and Julia DARAMOLA
This project was one of our favourites aesthetically. The team applied high attention to details while modelling with Fusion and did a great job in generating photo-realistic renderings.
It was also one of the best projects in terms of portability. Additionally, the team considered the manufacturability of the product in their design.

3rd Place
Team Concept squad from Tunisia
Members: Oussema Benaissa, Emna Ksaier, and Azza Reguigui
This project integrates different ideas in a brilliant way. The system utilizes solar energy to condense humidity in the air and allows for growing plants without the need for soil.
Furthermore, the team has meticulously modelled their ideas, detailing the relationships between components, and using a circular design that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the product.
