Anti-Gravity Games 2019 - Pre-work milestones prior to the games

Thank you for participating in the 2019 Anti-Gravity Games, hosted by Iowa Western Community College and Google! The Anti-Gravity Games have been very successful over the past several years, and students and teachers alike have given us a lot of positive feedback We love planning and hosting this event!

To ensure that everyone has a rewarding day at the Anti-Gravity Games, we have created a series of milestones that teams should meet during the run-up to the event. Teams must reach each milestone by the assigned date. Each milestone that you reach will earn early points for your team toward the final competition. (Note: If you skip Milestone 3 but submit Milestone 4, you will receive points for both Milestones 3 and 4.)

Failure to meet Milestone 3 can result in disqualification prior to the actual event. Late submissions will result in a reduced score.

Milestone 2 (8 Weeks Before Event)
