K12 Design Challenge
The competition aims to accelerate the practical use of the latest technology in an Aircraft and encourages young learners to conceptualize a futuristic design concept that can be used to help solve today’s problem for tomorrow.
Students ranging from the age group of 8 to 18 years can participate in this challenge under the primary and secondary school category. To participate in this challenge, students need to enroll for an online workshop where they can learn about Aircraft and get trained on the design software.
The phases
Participants must design an Aircraft and submit the Design for evaluation. The winners will be
selected by voting and expert panel.
IDEATE
If you would design an Aircraft:: What is the problem that your Aircraft would solve? How would the Aircraft look? What components will your Aircraft use?
DESIGN
Using CAD software convert your idea into a 3D model, the size of the model must be no larger than 10" x 10" x 10" (254 x 254 x 254 mm.
WIN
Shortlisted participants will present the Design to the panel of judges and the ultimate winners will be selected.
