Šimon Macurek
Finalist: 2026 QEPrize Trophy
For my trophy, I drew inspiration from an unassuming yet essential object found in everyday life, the SD card. It represents the storage of knowledge and the potential for future breakthroughs. I also drew inspiration from robotic arms, incorporating one that holds the SD card. I integrated three distinct lines into the design, each embodying a core engineering value I deem to be important. The first represents curiosity, the drive to explore new, uncharted ideas. The second signifies a growth mindset, reflecting the necessity of continuous evolution and adaptability in the face of advancing technology. The third value represents impact, focusing on the ultimate goal of creating tangible benefits for the world.
