What is The Tech Challenge?

Now in its 37th year, The Tech Challenge, a signature program of The Tech, aims to inspire the next generation of innovators and engineers. This annual team engineering design challenge invites students to embark on a journey that reinforces the engineering process while letting them work on real-world problems. It's an opportunity for young minds to put their STEM skills to the test in a hands-on, creative, and collaborative way.

SPACE – The Possibilities Are Limitless! 
From figuring out how to redirect asteroids to finding planets that could support life, scientists are always collecting information about our universe. Scientists are on a quest to learn more about a distant planet and its largest moon. Can your team deliver fragile, but highly important supplies to this moon’s surface?

The Challenge: Deliver multiple payloads to different locations.
