Take the Science Buddies Engineering Challenge!
About the Challenge
K-12 students worldwide are invited to give engineering a try with the annual Engineering Challenge from Science Buddies. Announced every January, the Science Buddies Engineering Challenge lets students use their problem-solving skills to design, build, and test contraptions. The challenges use simple materials and are free for all to participate. Try this year's challenge, and you may win a cash prize for your school or nonprofit!
"I LOVE using Science Buddies, particularly the Engineering Challenge. That challenge was worth a million words in teaching students about the engineering and design cycle. Thank you so much, Science Buddies, for providing a fun challenge that was chock-full of learning."
