International Assistive Tool/Equipment Design Competition

Engineering practical and innovative solutions for real community needs.

About the Competition

The International Assistive Tool/Equipment Design Competition invites students and pupils to engineer practical solutions for real community needs. Participants are challenged to develop innovative, functional, and applicable assistive tools or equipment.

Design Themes

Participants may choose one of the following six design themes:

Food-Security Technology
Household-Chore Tools
Agriculture and Plantation Equipment
Maritime Applications
Healthcare Devices
