Award Ceremony
The contest entries were evaluated on the following criteria:
- their creativity, clarity and aesthetics,
- their visual communication of scientific / engineering concepts,
- their effective use of Computational Thinking to formulate the solution that is visualized.
Each category was evaluated independently, with the best entries awarded a monetary prize (1000, 500 and 250 CHF for each category) and an award certificate. Selected entries will also be exhibited in a prominent place on the EPFL campus for an extended period of time.
The Award Ceremony was held on:
26 February 2018 at 12:15 pm in the Entrance Hall of the ME-D building.
Category winners gave a short presentation of their entries. The ceremony provided the opportunity to view all the entries in the static, dynamic and interactive categories.
