Our Challenge

Following a successful first edition, the Everyday Heroes Challenge returns for a second round. Building on the inspiring ideas, meaningful prototypes, and close collaboration between international students and the Elfenwiese School community, we invite a new generation of participants to help shape a more inclusive future. Together with pupils, teachers, physiotherapists, and interdisciplinary experts, you will explore real challenges from everyday school life and co-create practical solutions with genuine social impact. From assistive devices and educational tools to playful installations and inclusive learning environments, every idea has the potential to make a meaningful difference. Working in interdisciplinary teams, you will be supported by experienced Teamchers from different TU Hamburg facilities. The challenge is designed as a hybrid learning experience: while some participants collaborate directly on-site in Hamburg, others contribute remotely through research, design, CAD modelling, digital prototyping, coordination, or documentation. An on-campus week for short-term mobility is possible. Together, you will combine engineering, creativity, empathy, and teamwork to transform ideas into tangible solutions that improve everyday life.
