The Stanford Center on Longevity invites university students from around the world to compete to win the grand prize of $10,000 USD in the 2023-2024 Longevity Design Challenge: “Designing for Life Transitions“.
Students are invited to create solutions that help make life transitions more meaningful or healthy.
As it becomes increasingly common to live for 100 years, the traditional life course will become more complex and flexible. People may take time off at different points in their work lives to focus on family or personal development; they might return to school more than once, and they are likely to change careers several times; they may retire, only to re-enter the workforce in an entirely new capacity. The 2024 Stanford Center on Longevity Design Challenge invites student designers to help develop a new vision for how to move through these new life transitions.
Designs may include physical products, digital solutions, or programs, and can address a life transition at any point in the life span.
