First Place Winner

The Martian Loop

Design by

Allen Porras

"An ingenious solution combining centrifugal force to mimic Earth's gravity with advanced 3D printing using Martian regolith. Thoughtful inclusion of sustainable technologies like hydroponics, oxygen generation, and water recycling enhances its functionality. The loop's rotation mechanism and smart automation add convenience and health focus. Slightly more detail on the long-term reliability of the spin engine would strengthen the design further."
