Outline of Call for Participants

As this workshop provides an opportunity to work with designers from abroad, as well as designers from other fields, people with experience in marketing, and engineers, we believe that this is an excellent opportunity for all designers to experience first hand the process of developing new ideas and then presenting these ideas within the constraint of a 48 hour time limit.
