Highlights from the 2025 Design Challenge Wessex Regional Finals

Congratulations to the Wessex Design Challenge team for a fantastic regional finals event, held at BattleLab in Dorchester

Wessex region Design Challenge Chair Phil Ireland and Matt White from Bournemouth and Poole College hosted a fantastic event, attended by a total of 11 teams, and a special thanks to Julius for hosting this event at the Battlelab venue.

A big shout out to all our winners in each category: Team Titan, Team Krypton, Team Spare Tyre Squad and Team FrozOhm, who will be advancing to the national finals.

Team Titan leaped ahead of all others in the concept category as giants amongst men, securing the win. In the Foundation category, there was fierce competition between Team Krypton and Spare Tyre Squad, with their high scores ensuring that both advance to the national finals in October. Finally in the advanced category, team FrozOhm froze out the competition, leading in the poster competition and main challenge.

To all participating teams and academic leads, thank you for showcasing the future of engineering; the competition was fierce, and the talent was remarkable. A big thank you all the supporting team involved, including all judges and scrutineers, for making the event a success: view all the photos from the day.

The next regional event in the Design Challenge calendar is the Greater London Region on 25th April 2025 in London - see you there!
