There will be no Sprint program in 2024. Please stay tuned for future opportunities coming soon.
Welcome
Welcome to the Biodesign Sprint, a program powered by Biodesign Challenge and industry partners to explore the innovation potential of biology, design, and technology.
The Sprint offers students, professionals, hobbyists, and enthusiasts from across the globe the chance to envision and create products and processes that help create a future where everyone can thrive.

The Biodesign Sprint offers anyone with the spark of an idea the opportunity to design a regenerative ecosystem using biology and biotechnology.
With a month to develop projects, Sprint participants will gain experience in lightning-fast ideation and product development. Meanwhile, companies can identify and collaborate on novel ideas in biodesign.
What is the Biodesign Sprint?
In the future: The environment is not just what’s outside. We are a guest at its table.
How it works
Each participating team is asked to create a video or pre-recorded presentation (6-minute maximum) that explains the project and how it responds to the design prompt(s). During the Semifinals, teams share their video and participate in a live Q&A with the judging panel. The top teams from each track will present at the Finals to all the judges.
Projects will be evaluated based on our Judging Rubric, which emphasizes life cycles, the environment, and cultural impacts.
Teams
Split into Student (anyone currently enrolled in a degree-granting program) and Nonstudent tracks, the Biodesign Sprint offers everyone the opportunity to pitch their best ideas to leaders in biodesign and industry.
