Autodesk Challenge Cup 2025

The Autodesk Challenge Cup is a university-based team challenge for students in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction Management (AEC) disciplines. It is designed to discover the next generation of built environment design professionals that will help propel the industry forward into a truly innovative future. The teams competing in the Challenge Cup must leverage the unique value proposition of prefabrication and modular building by employing extraordinary design and technical innovation that cannot be matched by traditional construction methods.
