Remember: There are two I’m a Scientist zones you can take part in this November!

In the Shape the Future Zone five different ideas to use 3D printing to help create a sustainable future are competing for your VOTE!

On Friday, the champion of the Shape the Future Zone will be announced who will win €500 and have their idea turned into 3D printed reality.

Who will win your vote?

• A wearable biosphere which could be “worn as a constant reminder of the delicate balance of our planet”
• A water filter “which will cost very little and will give people in poverty clean water to drink”
• Personalised speakers made using recycled materials to “help prevent the environment from further harm and depletion of natural resources”
• A guitar capo made using generative design to use “the minimum possible amount of material in the minimum possible amount of time”
• 3D paintings made using recycled materials to “provide graphic materials to the blind community”

Read about the ideas, ASK your questions to the entrants and the researchers helping them design their idea, and VOTE for the idea you think should win.
