“What we take from the challenge is that designing and communicating are two sides of the same coin, and it doesn’t matter what you design if you don’t know how to communicate.”

Team

BRIGHT HEARTS

Elisava, Barcelona School of Design and Engineering - Spain

Team Bright Hearts is a multi-tasking group of Industrial Design Engineering students from Elisava, a leading university in design and engineering in Barcelona. The team was efficient in assigning specific roles to each member: from 3D modeling, target contact, video and photo production to graphic design. They efficiently combined their separate strengths to undertake the challenge.
