Events

There are 23 events in total, ranging from engineering challenges like Air Trajectory and Electric Vehicle, to science-based competitions such as Anatomy & Physiology, Ecology, and Dynamic Planet: Glaciers. Each participant will take a preliminary test for each event to determine the best match and fit based on their strengths and interests. With such a variety of events, each person can typically expect to compete in 2-3 events alongside 1-2 partners, allowing them to showcase their skills and engage with different areas of science and engineering. The preliminary test results will help ensure that everyone is paired with events where they can thrive and contribute to their team’s success
