Team Barely Bearing<\/strong> from Tallinn University of Applied Sciences<\/strong> claimed joint third place in the international Designathon 2025 thanks to their concept for a modular, weather-proof student workspace hub powered by wind and solar energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-strong team of Nikita Kulakov, Nikita Pikkas and Reimo Vellemaa<\/strong> placed joint third in the student design competition.\u00a0\u00a0Studying Mechanical Engineering or Robotics Engineering, the team impressed the jury with a solution which combines a timber enclosure, e-bike charging stations, a wind-turbine lamp-post, roof-mounted modular PV panels and an outdoor bench for collaboration and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team drew inspiration from nature, the Archimedean\/Fibonacci screw, the desire for the solution to fit into many different climate settings and for it to be aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barely Bearing achieved the same score as two other entries, underscoring the competitive nature of the Designathon challenge.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury said <\/strong>of the team\u2019s entry: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe liked this project for its use of natural materials and for the integration of renewable energy solutions for study and travel. The design brings together a number of features which demonstrate the team\u2019s focus on sustainability and usability.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delighted to secure joint third place, the students talked about their motivation for participation in the Designathon challenge, saying: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to push ourselves to learn more and make collective creative decisions in a limited timeframe. It allowed us to put our knowledge and skills to the test in Autodesk Fusion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As active members of their university\u2019s Robotics Club, the students plan to keep using Autodesk Fusion for club projects and 3-D-printing experiments. Showcasing a Designathon podium finish on their CVs is, they say, \u201ca definite selling-point for future employers\u201d <\/em>as they move towards careers in design, optimisation and automation.<\/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.\u00a0Students were offered training to boost their Autodesk Fusion modelling skills and learn about key workflows.\u00a0<\/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. \u00a0The solution needed to use a renewable energy source (or sources) for the electrical supply.\u00a0The 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.\u00a0178 projects\u200b were submitted, involving 446 participants\u200b in 17 countries.\u00a0Entries were of a very high standard, making the selection of winners very difficult for the jury.
