The 24-hours of innovation challenge is a competition originating in France that challenges participants to propose solutions to problems presented by the community, industry or universities. This year’s
challenges included engineering, design and quality of life challenges.

Teams of 5 to 10 participants work together over a 24-hour period to prepare a proposal and pitch on video. Prizes are awarded for the most innovative solutions. This global event gathers more than 1,000 students in 10 countries on five continents. In Montreal, the École de technologie superieure is the go-to place for this competition. For a list of all the challenges and more information on the competition: 24-hours of innovation.

We would like to congratulate our Dawson College team who picked Challenge #17 – Reinventing Stairs: “How do we make stairs more attractive to users?”
