Student Design Challenge - TEI 2014, Munich, Germany

Student Design Challenge: It's Magic

Please see the Call for Student Design Challenge for information on how to prepare and submit a proposal.

In this edition of the Student Design Challenge we celebrate Arthur C. Clarke claim that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. We invited students to construct a tangible object or performance that would challenge our assumptions of normality and will certainly awe the TEI community.

Date and Location

The presentations will take place on Monday, February 17, at 18:30 in the Große Aula, together with the welcome reception.
