Students from Grades 8 - 12 will be presented with a real-life engineering problem. Teams must design a
detailed solution to a large-scale engineering problem. The teams will then pitch the solution to the client (judges).
Students will form teams of 4 to research ideas, generate deliverables, and prepare their presentation over 3 weeks. Each team is required to register (one registration per team with all names in registration). To maximize the number of schools attending within the limited spots, currently we are allowing a maximum of one team per school per competition level. Teams must have exactly 4 students (no more, no less). It is the duty of the students to form a team and register together.
The Virtual Engineering Competition is jointly hosted by National Engineering Month and PEO York Chapter.
