Design engine community project: generate quick adhoc inventions to explore at SIGGRAPH and in the studio

Abstract

Since its release, "The Design Engine" has been played by groups of students, teachers, and individuals looking to spark self-guided training. "The Design Engine" is a direct response to educators' requests for better classroom tools surrounding inspiration and 3D printing. By prompting participants to create their own original, imaginative works-instead of using pre-selected examples-teachers can keep their students better motivated through the process of mastering desktop 3D printing. We are hosting a brand new SIGGRAPH-edition of "The Design Engine," a constantly evolving series of challenges hosted within the Studio. Participants of all backgrounds can join for a short startup round, or stick around to design and develop their projects using the tools available in the SIGGRAPH Studio Workshop.
