Each October the Somerville Mathematics Fund sponsors a high school engineering challenge for students from Somerville.
High School students, who live in Somerville, MA, form teams of three competitors ahead of time. Then on the day of the competition they arrive at Gantcher Gym at Tufts U and discover what this year's challenge will be. At the end of the afternoon, their machines compete against each other for prizes. To compete, each team needs to raise $75, and there is an additional prize for the best student fundraiser.
Here are pictures and links from last year's challenge.
Here is the link to download the entry form which is due on 17 October.
If you have questions, email mathfund@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing all the wonderfully creative students tackle this years challenge.
