Third place last year \u2013 second in 2025!  The team from Y\u0131ld\u0131z Technical University<\/strong> in T\u00fcrkiye secured second position at Designathon 2025, the annual student design competition organised by KnowledgePoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two mechanical engineering students, Ahmet Ak\u00e7ad\u0131rci <\/strong>and \u0130brahim Berat Ertu\u011frul<\/strong>, set out to challenge themselves again, and it paid off. The students started with a sketch of their proposed concept, before starting the design and modelling process in Autodesk Fusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by natural elements, the team\u2019s IgLoop combined a palm-like central column evoking summer, and an exterior reminiscent of an igloo bringing a touch of winter. Its 90-degree foldable panels are designed allow users to enjoy fresh air while relaxing or studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their entry describes the concept: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTake a break from the hustle of campus life and immerse yourself in the harmony of the seasons with IgLoop\u2014where the temperature adapts to the climate, and the ambiance always feels like peace.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having already reached the podium in Designathon 2024, Ahmet and \u0130brahim collaborated again on the 2025 edition. \u201cDoing everything from scratch and seeing what you\u2019re capable of\u201d<\/em> was, for them, the most rewarding part of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about placing second in this year\u2019s Designathon the team said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe feel happy about it. There were so many projects that we really liked and a bit surprised how we got selected. We guess it is the concept and feeling that made it stand out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their achievement has also been recognised by their university. Associate Professor Dr. Binnur Sagbas<\/strong> who is the Vice Dean of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty at Y\u0131ld\u0131z Technical University<\/strong><\/strong> said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are delighted and proud that our students\u2019 team, DesAIgn, achieved second place\u00a0in Designathon 2025, a global competition with 178 projects from 140 educational institutions.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this international challenge, which focused on renewable energy, sustainable design principles, and environmentally conscious solutions, our students inspired us all with their creativity and vision for a better future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sincerely congratulate them and wish that their success continues to be a source of inspiration.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to KnowledgePoint<\/strong>\u00a0for providing such a meaningful platform that encourages young talents to design for a sustainable tomorrow.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entries were of a very high standard, making the judging process very difficult. This is what the jury had to say about the Team DesAIgn concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury said:<\/strong> \u201cIts use of multiple renewable energy sources, combined with innovative design, made IgLoop a stand-out project. Its ability to adapt to the season and time of day offers a flexible study and social space for students. The team clearly understood the brief, and brought their concept to life through excellent 3D modelling and renders.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Designathon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designathon 2025, organised by KnowledgePoint, was the third edition of a two\u2011day international online design challenge for teams of engineering and industrial design students. Students were offered training to boost their Autodesk Fusion modelling skills and learn about key workflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They then worked in teams of two or three to respond to a sustainable design challenge \u2013 the student teams were asked to design an accessible, aesthetically-pleasing outdoor hub where students can gather, work and charge their devices. The solution needed to use a renewable energy source (or sources) for the electrical supply. The design needed to consider durability, usability and impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year teams of students from 140 educational institutions took part. 178 projects\u200b were submitted, involving 446 participants\u200b in 17 countries. Learn more about Designathon 2025 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
