Teams of two are given a surprise problem on-site and have 90 minutes to brainstorm, design, and build a physical solution using only the provided materials and their personal toolbox. After construction, each team's device is tested using an objective measurement like distance, strength, or time. The challenge encourages creativity, quick thinking, and teamwork under pressure. Judges score based on how effectively the solution solves the problem and meets technical criteria. If you enjoy building, engineering challenges, or problem-solving with limited resources, this is the event for you. It’s perfect for students who work well under time limits and love hands-on projects.
