You've got to try it to believe it. Exclusively for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, this competition challenges students to help their community and provides a high energy, hands-on experience with science and technology. Students design and build working devices powered by Duracell batteries. Students may enter individually or in teams of two. The purpose of the competition is to encourage students to combine their imaginations with the tools of science to create and explore a vision of a future technology.
Students work in groups of three or four.
For elementary, middle and high school students. This national program of investigations and design challenges includes three separate competitions for students at the middle school level - Design a Mission to Mars, Watching Earth Change, and Aeronautics and Space Science Journalism. Students participate as members of a team. The preparation begins early in the school year and leads towards that New Jersey Science Olympiad in March. State winners get an invitation to the national competition.
