The Integrated Product Design Master Program and PennDesign hosted iDesign@Penn, the very first of what will become an annual competition in which Penn graduate students compete for a $50,000 prize to help launch their unique products.

In a room of no more than 40 people, Associate Dean of External Affairs at the School of Design Richard Fitzgerald said, “Five years from now when the iDesign prize is the hottest prize in the United States, you can say that you were here on this first night.”
