KMU Students Receive Grand Prize in Design Awards


On February 15, KMU students were awarded the grand prize in the Spark Design Awards held in San Francisco. They are four students from the Department of Industrial Design: Hyuntae Kim, Hyuntae Roh, Seungmin Bak, and Khanyoung Kong. The Spark Design Awards are an international design award. The awards have six sections: Apps, Concept, Communication, Mobility, Product, and Space.

The students submitted a Multi Wrench, a wrench that can be used with 5 different bolt measures, to the awards. With this wrench, people can use 5 different bolts with one wrench. Their entry won the grand prize in the concept section. The students said they made it because of inconvenience when they use a heavy wrench box which is full of wrenches and bolts.

The students prepared and participated in this competition with Keimyung University’s help. With this help, they interviewed a famous designer in the USA and got a lot of useful information from this meeting. They thanked Keimyung University for assisting them.
