Engineering High School Design Competition
Put your engineering skills to the test in the School of Engineering’s first annual High School Design Competition!
Each year brings a new challenge for teams of high school students (between Grades 10-12) to design, build, and innovate.
Experience the thrills of engineering! Compete for fabulous prizes, including tuition credits, School of Engineering swag, and summer job opportunities!
2024 High School Design Competition
At the inaugural competition, the puck stops here with a challenge to design an apparatus that can shoot a hockey puck toward a target. The apparatus will be powered by a falling sandbag and must have a maximum footprint of 1 metre x 1 metre. Teams will shoot in two rounds featuring two different scoring trials.
High school teams of 2-4 are invited to participate. Teams of mixed grades are permitted.
No registration required. Participating teams will receive access to funds to complete their design for the competition.
