Design challenges are an opportunity to get creative, learn from feedback on designs, and earn prizes.

Put your new skills to work on a design challenge. 

Example

Fidget Spinner Challenge (expires 4/30/2017)

Here's an Owl Spinner we designed in Easel. We then shared it with the Inventables community page (link opens in new window).

Each challenge has different requirements. Some requirements might be:

• • Opening an online account on the organizer's platform (i.e., Inventables, Instructables, Thingiverse, etc.)

  • Creating your own original design

  • Making your design publicly visible on the platform

  • Including an image of the model or the fabricated design

  • Sharing it on your social media account
