We want to give a special thank you to our presenting sponsor, Dell, whose support enabled us to engage about 2,000 students in months of learning about the engineering design process, teamwork, perseverance and more.

What is The Tech Challenge?

This signature program of The Tech 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 exciting two-day showcase in March when teams put their solutions to the test in front of judges.
