In 2012, 14 teams from around the world took part in the inaurugal 24H. Students participating in the competition are typically coming from a diverse range of fields, including interaction design, human-computer interaction, computer science, architecture, engineering and humanities.

What to expect
MAB24H is an intense and fun competition. Your goal is to design something that responds to the brief provided at the start of the challenge. The brief will include information on what you will be designing, some background reading, helpful hints, and what we expect you to do. You will have 24-hours to create your design, write your paper, maintain your blog and shoot/produce your video.

During the 24 hours, mentors will be on Twitter and Tumblr under the #mab24h hashtag, commenting and challenging the teams’ process. So, go find some friends and get ready to enter! And don’t worry if you have a small team, some of the most successful groups in 2012 were small! Have fun!
