Participation Information
Students participate by forming teams, identifying an inequity, and developing a project using human-centered design principles. The final design must integrate coding. Teams advance to national-level competition.
Open to middle and high school students in the U.S.
Trophies, certificates, and scholarships for engineering excellence
Students participate by forming teams, identifying an inequity, and developing a project using human-centered design principles. The final design must integrate coding. Teams advance to national-level competition.
1. Form a team and register. 2. Design a solution addressing inequity with a coding element. 3. Submit designs and presentations for evaluation at regional and national levels.
Design materials, coding tools, human-centered design resources
Based on creativity, impact, technical feasibility, and integration of coding in solving an inequity.
