This is an engineering competition, run by ThermaLabs. You and your team design a cooling jacket for people who work in 45 degree heat, and the best designs get funded to be built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now to 23 November<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of you starts the application and adds your team. Each of you then answers your own questions alone, which takes about two hours, and your team answers the team questions together, which takes about two more. If you advance to the next selection round we\u2019ll schedule a 20 minute video call with your team to get to know you better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 25 November<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re selected you sign the entry agreement, then get the brief with the exact targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 26 November to 17 December 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re given 3 weeks to submit the most creative and effective design of the jacket you intend to build. All technical details must be covered. At the end of each week you hand in your work, and our judge names your team\u2019s biggest weakness, never the fix. A team that misses a hand-in is out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: nothing physical is built here, only high detail ideation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every full design gets a short written review from our expert, and a certificate for making it this far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 January to 26 April 2027<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Up to 3 of the best team submissions from the design round get selected for a funded build round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 26 April to 4 June 2027<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our expert checks whether each jacket hits the targets, and whether it\u2019s worth turning into a real product. Noise and parts cost are scored too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is an engineering competition, run by ThermaLabs.
