These are the winners of the 2011 challenge
The shortlisted teams presented their entries to the challenge at OzCHI in Canberra on Friday 2 December, to compete for the overall prize in the 2011 OzCHI Student Design Challenge.
All the teams did a fabulous job with presenting their projects, and our onsite jury had a tough time deciding on a ranking. Almost being a tie between two teams, these rankings brought the results from the online jury even closer together. But through aggregating the results it became clear that the first prize was claimed by the team that managed to demonstrate the most thorough design process, came up with the most original solution, and at the same time addressed a real-world problem:
The winners of the 2011 OzCHI Student Design Challenge are … team That Sentient Feeling from the University of Sydney. Watch their video entry at the end of this post.
The second prize goes to team UTAS (a.k.a. the Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy) for their Serendipity Machine.
The runners-up awards go to the teams CS:RMIT for DistractMi and orana from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati for their web browser extension.
This was the 2011 edition of the OzCHI Student Design Challenge. We will be back in 2012. Thanks again to our sponsors Telstra, HFESA, and Rosenfeld Media, to our online jury, Tim Buesing, Pedro Fernandes, Marcus Foth, Penny Hagen, and Ben Kraal, and our onsite jury, Megan Bauer (Telstra) and Cecile Paris (CSIRO).
Congratulations again to all the teams for their achievements!
