Success of product designers in a startup competition
In their second year of study as an Industrial and Product designer BSc students, Anna Czikkely and Dóra Becker successfully participated in the Student Startup Contest in Újbuda. The students applied for the startup with the concept of an upgraded BOB skill improver game, of which they had created the older version in the subject called Integrated Product Design Practise II. With this application they won one of the grand prizes: 1 million HUF and professional support to be able to bring the product to the market.
The developers’ summarization about their product was the following: “BOB is a wooden-made board, covered with paints made for 4-8 year old kindergarteners and schoolchildren. Its aim is to help them improve their skills. BOB is friendly, simple and its plain shape becomes quickly adorable, moreover it can be made unique – so as many owners, that many BOBs!”
I would like to congratulate the team and I would like to draw attention, that this startup application might be available next year, as well.
