U of T High School Design Competition

Registration is officially open for our biggest and best event of the year: the 2015 University of Toronto High School Design Competition! The competition will be held on Saturday November 28th, 2015, in the Bahen Centre for Information Technology (40 St George St), from 8:20 – 5:30pm on University of Toronto Campus!

Below are the details for the 2015 Competition, we've changed a few things since last year.

The competition is open this year to students Grades 9-12, in teams of four. (Grades 9/10s will compete against each other, vice versa for 11/12s).Teams of four will get the challenge briefing & design package one week in advance. Students will use that time to buy their materials, and come up with a design plan for when they actually get to build at the competition on November 28th. Spending limit is capped at $50CAD, which we will reimburse each team for after the competition. (Provided they bring their receipts! Materials must be brought to the competition unassembled). The design challenge this year was created by current engineering students, for potential future engineering students: we've even snuck in some concepts from our first year engineering design courses, to give students a sneak preview into concepts learned in actual engineering school!Participants will learn the basics of Python in one hour, during a fun workshop - no prior experience necessary. Students can scope out U of T Engineering's best clubs at our Opportunities Exhibition during lunch!Enjoy a keynote speech on the life an times of Engineering Design, from an acclaimed U of T Engineering Professor. Get Mentored by our all-star team of current U of T Engineering Student mentors, from a wide range of engineering disciplines. They've been hand picked to answer any and all student questions about engineering, and help give advice!A chance to win cool prizes, meet new friends in the GTA, gain some practical engineering design experience, and build connections at U of T!REGISTRATION CLOSES THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19TH, AT 5PM Tickets are $15.00, are nonrefundable, and can be purchased online this year, here!
