Description

The Design Competition involves teams of two students, both of whom must be high school freshmen, sophomores, or juniors at the time of the competition. Each team will design and build a vehicle that will, under its own power, climb a sloped ramp, knock over a flag at the top of the ramp, and sustain its position against an opposing vehicle.

The following prizes will be awarded to the top three teams: Both members of the first-place team will be awarded tuition scholarships to Boston University of $5,000 per year for four years. Both members of the second-place team will be awarded tuition scholarships to Boston University of $2,500 per year for four years. Both members of the third-place team will receive a $100 gift certificate redeemable at Barnes and Noble at Boston University upon matriculation at Boston University . All finalists will receive a trophy recognizing their performance. All awards are contingent upon application and admission to, and enrollment in, one of Boston University's eleven undergraduate Schools and Colleges, and are available to ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade students only.
