Overview

​

The MENTAL x Design Ideas Competition invites students across the University of Melbourne to conceptualise a ‘comfort room’ for the MENTAL Exhibition at Melbourne Science Gallery. 

 

During the fully catered competition from 19 - 21 November, interfaculty teams will be challenged to conceive and communicate a multisensory, physical retreat space using their preferred technique of expression. The competition will also involve sessional mentoring with university faculty members and the opportunity to present your design to an expert judging panel. 

 

The winning team will receive $250 per team member and the prospect for the concept to be realised at the exciting new Melbourne Connect Science Gallery.
