The Tech Challenge
Where can you learn engineering design skills, discover how to solve real-world problems, practice working collaboratively and have a whole lot of fun at the same time?
Now in its 38th year, The Tech Challenge invites teams of students in Grades 4-12 to use the engineering design process to solve a real-world problem. Participants spend months collaborating and becoming deeply engaged in the challenge while documenting their progress and designs. The program culminates in an inspiring two-day showcase in May where teams put their solutions to the test in front of judges.
The 2025 scenario:
There are many ways to get from here to there and back again. Some vehicles are powered by gasoline, electricity, hydrogen or even solar. In this year’s Challenge, teams will use gravity to power their devices. Is your team ready to build a vehicle that can go the distance and document your journey?
