Hovercraft float on a cushion of air, allowing them to go places boats, cars, trains and other vehicles can’t. They don't need roads or rails and can move tons of stuff over land or water.
The challenge: Design and build a hovercraft that can navigate different terrains.
Showcase: Saturday, March 30, and Sunday, March 31, 2019
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.
