IxDA is proudly supporting a student design challenge as part of the OzCHI 09 conference <http://www.ozchi.org/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page>, being held in Melbourne in November.
Here's some information on the challenge: 24 Hour Design Challenge The OZCHI conference student design challenge is a great opportunity for students from around the world to win a travel scholarship to Melbourne, Australia, and attend an international conference about interaction design to meet peers, academics, and professionals from the field. In line with the conference theme "Design: Open 24/7" the challenge is organised as two separate 24 hour events: Online Challenge The first 24-hour event takes place online on 12-13 September 2009, starting at 8am (AEST). Teams of 2-5 students from around the world are invited to develop a solution for a state-of-the-art research problem requiring interaction design and HCI skills. Submission will be judged by a panel of international experts (see below). Top entries will be published in the official conference proceedings. The winning team will be awarded a travel scholarship for attending OZCHI in Melbourne, to (partly) cover travel, accommodation and/or conference registration. Conference Challenge The second 24-hour event will take place at the OZCHI conference, in Melbourne, on 23-24 November 2009. All students registered for the conference are invited to participate in this challenge. Teams will have 24 hours to develop an application based on mobile and ubiquitous computing technologies and designed for the local context - the City of Melbourne.
