Explore the human body and how it functions. Each year, students study 3 distinct organ systems (This year is Skeletal, Muscular, and Integumentary)
Teams will design and build a Boomilever meeting requirements specified in the rules to achieve the highest structural efficiency.
Teams will demonstrate chemistry laboratory skills and answer questions related to thermodynamics and gas laws.
Teams will cryptanalyze and decode encrypted messages using cryptanalysis techniques for historical and modern advanced ciphers.
Participants will solve problems and analyze data or diagrams using their knowledge of the basic principles of genetics, molecular genetics and biotechnology.
Teams will build a durable temperature sensing device that will accurately measure and display temperatures between zero degrees Celsius to 75 degrees Celsius to determine the temperature of four different water samples.
Students will use investigative skills in the scientific study of disease, injury, health and disability in populations or groups of people with a focus on Food Borne Illness.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the large-scale processes affecting the structure of Earth's crust (Tectonics).
Given a set of unknown objects, teams will design, conduct, analyze and write-up an experiment.
Teams identify and classify fossils and demonstrate their knowledge of ancient life by completing tasks related to interpretation of past environments and ecosystems, adaptations and evolutionary relationships, and use of fossils in dating and correlating rock units.
Teams will demonstrate understanding in the construction and use of topographic maps, geologic maps, and cross sections, and their use in forming interpretations regarding subsurface structures and past depositional environments.
Teams design, build and test one Vehicle and Ramp that uses the Vehicle's gravitational potential energy as its sole means of propulsion to reach a target as quickly and accurately as possible.
Teams will complete a written test on simple and compound machine concepts and construct a lever-based measuring device prior to the tournament to determine the ratio between two masses.
Prior to the tournament, teams will design, build and bring up to two bottle rockets to the tournament to launch a ping pong ball attached to a parachute to stay aloft for the greatest amount of time.
Students will use computer visualization and online resources to construct a physical model of a protein that is being used with CRISPR Cas9 to edit plant and animal genomes. This year's event will focus on modifications to Cas9 that make it useful for base-editing.
Teams must construct and tune one device prior to the tournament based on a two-octave 12-tone equal tempered scale and complete a written test on the physics of sound and music concepts.
Participants will be assessed on their understanding and evaluation of marine and estuary aquatic environments.
Prior to the competition teams design, construct and test free flight rubber-powered monoplanes to achieve maximum time aloft.
A technical writing exercise where students write a description of a contraption and other students will attempt to recreate it using only the written description.
