From the creators of the first Southeast Asian proptech hackathon - Hood Disrupt - comes a new competition. Introducing The igloohome Design Challenge: Circuit Disrupt.
Not everyone runs on the same track. That’s why we’re asking you to break out of the circuit to contribute to smarter ways of living.
We want to unlock the inner designer, creator and innovator in you.
Are you ready to step up to the challenge?
We'd like to invite you to meditate on the gaps and problems occurring in our daily lives. These problems could be in the PropTech, Smart Food, or Smart Security space to name a few.
Design a product/solution you'd like to see in the future in response to this identifed problem. It could be anything from digital tools, analogue products, service proposals, to spatial designs.
Selected concepts revolving around smart access (e.g. locks) would qualify for the igloohome HQ experience, where we might team up with you to bring your idea to life. As part of the #SGUnited initiative, we want you to get creative during this circuit breaker period.
Note: As of 29 July 2020, there has been a change of winners due to disqualification of an entry.
The information has been updated as at 3 August 2020.

Are there similar solutions out in the market?
Is the problem relevant to the scope? Does the output address the problem adequately?
Can this be produced in the next 5 years, extrapolated to the current technology available?
What kinds of positive environmental and social impact will it bring? Will the output still be relevant 20 years from now?
Do the accompanying visuals explain how the solution is expressed in terms of form, material choice, user-interface and more? Is it a good balance between form and function?
