IDEA, supported by Intel Ireland, is a TU Dublin multidisciplinary educational experience developed by the Dublin School of Creative Arts, the School of Mechanical and Design Engineering, TU Dublin Hothouse and TU Dublin Access and Civic Engagement.

IDEA aims to inspire the next generation of Designers, Innovators, Change Makers and Entrepreneurs. Over a week, students were challenged to come up with business, product and social innovation concepts based on new and emerging technologies such as 3D modelling and printing.
