Dear Teacher,
Looking for hands-on learning to support Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards?
The Tech Challenge, now in its 27th year, is an annual team design challenge for students in grades 5-12 that introduces and reinforces the engineering design process with a hands-on project geared to solving a real-world problem.
Designed to inspire the next generation of Silicon Valley innovators, The Tech Challenge provides months of hands-on learning culminating in a two day Event on Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13, 2014.
This year, it’s all about sustainable energy because in California we spend 19% of our total energy consumption moving and processing water. The Challenge: harness the wind to move water to the people who need it!
Solutions can be created with common, low-cost materials and registration is just $50 per team.(Fees are waived for Title I schools and after-school programs.)
