The GEC provides student teams an opportunity to put their competitive engineering skills to the test! Every night for two hours student teams will be given materials and told to build an accomplish something specific with them. From a robotic arm made out of popsicle sticks to rockets made out of plastic bottles, this is a must-do!
Each GEC will focus on a different aspect of engineering and each are designed to allow for different modes of thought.
The winning team of each night's GEC will be awarded a prize.
Greatest Engineers Challenge Rules
- The Challenges
a. In each Challenge, student teams will be given a set amount of materials and then told to construct something specific using only those materials.
b. Every Challenge will have its own, more specific rules to determine what the teams will construct and how they will win.
c. Each team will receive the same type and amount of materials.
d. Each Challenge is limited to 2 hours.
- Teams
a. All participants in the GEC must be in a team of at least 3 people, i.e. 3 < T where T is the number of people on a team.
b. Teams DO NOT have to be the same each night or compete in every challenge.
- Winning
a. The winning team of each Challenge will be chosen based on the specific rules and objectives of that particular Challenge.
