The competition consists of 3 challenges, each for a different age level and each representing the ideals of STEM education.
Students can choose to compete in the category of their age level or any higher age level category.
Elementary School:
Efficient Car Ramp Challenge
In the modern world, vehicles are designed to push the known boundaries of engineering by breaking speed records. For the elementary school competition, students will design a ramp suitable for use with a Hot Wheels-sized toy car. Their goal will be to have their car travel as fast as possible once exiting the ramp. The instantaneous speed of their car will be measured once its back wheels have reached 1 meter from the endpoint of the ramp. The fastest car wins!
Middle School: Sustainable Vehicle Design Challenge
Sustainable vehicles are becoming more popular every day with issues such as climate change and rising gas prices propelling their popularity. For the middle school competition, students will make a small, sustainably powered car without the incorporation of any electronics or batteries. Examples could include a rubber band, water wheel, or even balloon-powered cars.
High School:
Skybridge Design Challenge
For the high school competition, your local school is looking to build a new skybridge between your school and the public library in order to allow students to easily get to the library without the need of extra buses. Your job is to design a model bridge fit to the specifications of the school district and create a presentation pitch where you will persuade the school to construct your bridge. Each bridge will be tested for endurance and strength. The team whose bridge holds the most weight and for the longest time will be selected for the construction contract!
