Participations: |
On 13th of September there was the awards ceremony of the InnovateItaly Altera Design Contest, 2012 edition.
The celebration was at the Hotel Principi di Piemonte in Turin, an elegant hotel located in the heart of the city facing the renowned street, via Roma. |
 |
80 contest participants |
|
33 different groups subscribed the Innovation contest |
|
Up to 15 different Italian Universities |
| |
|
The examination of the submitted papers led to the selection of 11 finalists. Among the 11 finalists we selected the top three.
The ranking among them was pretty difficult since all of them were very valuable
The evaluation was based on the following criteria: |
|
Design Concept |
| |
1.Complexity
2.Functionality |
|
Design Implementation |
|
Documentation |
