Take the 5th Annual Fluor Engineering Challenge!

The video above provides a short overview of this year's exciting Volleyball Machine Fluor Challenge. Watch the video with students to talk about the Challenge objective and get everyone brainstorming ideas for ways to solve the hands-on engineering challenge. The video shows a few examples, but students are encouraged to use the engineering design process to innovate, create, and test their own solutions (within the rules).

Ready to Get Started?

The Volleyball Machine Challenge project (for students working independently) and Lesson Plans to support educators doing the Fluor Challenge with elementary, middle, and high school students are available now. Students can begin working on their solutions at any time, but submissions are only accepted during the challenge window, February 17-March 15, 2019.

All students are encouraged to enter their Fluor Challenge Volleyball Machine solutions.
