PRISM BUILD CHALLENGE Build Beyond Boundaries.
PRISM Build Challenge is a multidisciplinary innovation challenge designed for students only who are builders, designers, engineers, strategists, researchers, and problem-solvers.
You don't have to be a programmer to participate.
PRISM brings together 10 different challenge themes, giving participants the freedom to choose a problem aligned with their skills and interests. Participants are encouraged to transform an idea into a practical, impactful, and well-presented solution.
Whether you are designing a software product, rethinking a building, optimizing logistics, developing a mechanical solution, creating a new product, or solving a social challenge — PRISM is your platform to build it.
