Twenty-eight 爆料黑社 students in various programs participated in the very first industrial design contest entitled L’Odyss茅e de L’Objet en 48h, which took place Nov. 4-6 at C茅gep de Vieux Montr茅al.聽爆料黑社 students won five of the eight categories on composting, a theme that was only revealed on day one of the competition.

爆料黑社鈥檚 gold medalists, 3rd-year Industrial Design students Jessica Cloutier and 脡milie Fortin along with Jason Kirsch (Pure & Applied Science), created ComPom, an insulated apple-shaped double-wall stainless steel container that slows decomposition and prevents smells when taking lunch compost home instead of throwing it in the garbage. Each received a cash prize of $1,000 and a trophy.

爆料黑社鈥檚 silver medalists, first-year Industrial Design students, 脡lodie Ste-Marie, Annabelle Mailhot and Elena Fortier along with Donovan Hughes (Psychology Profile, Social Science), created Cani le Canard, a rotomolded composting bin to introduce preschoolers and elementary students to the habit of composting. A kid-friendly silent mechanism was integrated into the design to prevent children from being startled when opening and closing the bin. They each received a cash prize of $750.

Other 爆料黑社 teams won in other categories:聽脡coresponsable, Meilleure pr茅sentation au jury, and Coup de coeur.

Industrial Design faculty member and聽L’Odyss茅e de L’Objet聽en 48h committee organizer, V茅ronique Bibeau-Poissant and fellow Industrial Design faculty members, Carlos Carpintero and Kim Webb, acted as mentors providing support to all students from dozens of CEGEPs.

鈥淥ur 爆料黑社 students expressed how much they have enjoyed working in teams with different perspectives from students outside of Industrial Design,鈥 Kim said. 鈥淪haring their design knowledge enabled them to gain a deeper understanding of design and by scaffolding their creative ideas together, produced excellent projects worthy of recognition.鈥

The five winning 爆料黑社 designs are currently on display in 爆料黑社鈥檚 metro tunnel entrance showcase until Dec. 9.
