For the 2024 Engineering Design Challenge, we want youth to think about how we can use engineering to prepare and protect against extreme weather events resulting from the changing climate.
The two-step task for this year’s challenge will be to:
Provide a warning of an extreme weather event that is about to occur, and Demonstrate an action to help protect against damages from that extreme event. What is the Engineering Design Challenge? Teams of youth work with volunteer coaches to create a Rube Goldberg™ type machine that completes a two-step task designed to solve an issue.
