Tech Challenge 2015 Update - May 4, 2015

It was a crazy weekend.

We arrived at the Tech Museum ~9:20am on Sunday (4/26), but we didn't get through the competition until 11:30am! I don't know why the progress was so slow, especially when the Tech Challenge organization got rid of the Design Journal Interview section. I guess the success of the program caught up with the organization, and that's a good news. I hate to think what it'll be like next year, but I hope more kids will join the competition.

Either way, my team finished well, but more importantly, they had a lot of fun. They danced, they laughed, and they had fun with their team. I hope you and your kids will join us next year.

Tech Challenge 2015 Update - April 20, 2015

Please come join the fun at the Tech Museum this weekend (4/25 - 4/26). 

2015's the Tech Challenge competition is taking place, and the admission to the competition and the museum is free.
 
It's always very interesting to come and see all the different designs the students from all over Northern California have come up with to solve this year's challenge, which is Seismic Engineering in Action. And the award ceremony takes place at 1pm (4/25) for the elementary school division, so if you can, stay and support the youngsters.
