Hasta La Ideas

The Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Wentworth Institute of Technology have something no other two schools have, two different Industrial Design programs within a stones throw away from each other. 16 Hours to Glory is a culmination of Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Wentworth Institute of Technology students working in small teams researching, brainstorming, designing, and finalizing a solution to a problem which is given at the start of the competition. The next day, students are given the opportunity to present their 16 hour solutions to a panel of outside judges. The goal of the competition is to create some friendly competition, and camaraderie between the two schools of industrial design, and celebrate their differences and styles.

Saturday, March 2nd will be the Design Phase from 8AM to 12AM and March 3rd will see presentations and judging. Both will be held in the Trustee’s Room at MassArt, floor 11.

Sponsored by Staples, Bose, Design Museum Boston, Monster Energy and Keyshot.
