SER STEM – Obstacle Design Challenge
Deadline to submit is Tuesday, May 20th at 11:00 pm CT.
- Safety FIRST – adult supervision is a must
- Kits or prebuilt are NOT allowed
- Get your creativity and come up with your design. So, do some research and get started on building your unique obstacle!
- Unleash your resourcefulness ….you may already have all the supplies you need at home!
- Submit a short video (20-30 seconds) of your catapult in action. Don’t forget to include a written explanation of the steps you took to build it.
Independent judges will review entries that include the required video and step-by-step written/typed explanation of steps taken to build. Again, only entries with both video and detailed documentation will be accepted.
Qualifying entries will be scored on creativity, originality, functionability, feasibility, presentation, effort, and craftsmanship.
The judges’ combined highest scores will be awarded a $1,000.00 (US) scholarship to be paid directly to a post-high school institution (community college, university, trade school) of your choice and not directly to the student.
