It’s common for designers in the first world to try to create products or ideas to help citizens of less fortunate countries. This competition, however, is giving the opportunity for designers aged 13 or over in the developing world to solve problems in developed countries. They are looking for the following solutions:
- Reducing obesity.
- Addressing aging population and low birth rate.
- Reducing consumption rate of mass produced goods.
- Integrating the immigrant population.
As a British citizen I can’t enter this competition, however I am very interested in seeing the final results.
