Students were given identical bags ofmaterials containing items, such as rubber bands, playingcards, bamboo skewers, hot glue, masking tape, andmore, with which to construct their device. In the qualifyinground of the competition, each student’s design was putto the test. While many didn’t make it very far down theramp, everyone had fun brainstorming and constructingtheir vehicles.
