The Creativity of Young Engineers Met With the Sweet Exciment of Candy
Organized annually by Özdisan Elektronik with the aim of supporting the inventors of the future, the Invention Challenge was once again a great success this year. The 20th edition of the Istanbul Invention Challenge took place with great enthusiasm on December 7, 2024 at the
Doğuş University Dudullu Campus. Young engineering candidates and technology enthusiasts showcased their creativity and skills. This year’s competition theme was the “Peanut Candy Throwing Contest.” Participants aimed to score the highest points by hitting a target 5 meters away with 50 peanut candies within 1 minute. To achieve this, they designed mechanical devices and meticulously developed their equipment.
