The Challenge

Last fall, the Ames Middle School Team "A" and the Meeker Elementary Destination ImagiNation teams chose from 5 challenges for their competition this year.  Both chose Challenge A - Unidentified Moving Objects.  This challenge is an engineering-based challenge requiring the teams to:

  • Design and build equipment to move various materials to and from towering heights
  • They could not use AC electrical power
  • Create equipment to be used that started and ended collapsed into a 20” square storage bo
  • Create and present a sales promotion highlighting the features of their equipment
  • Move the eight items and present their sales promotion within an eight minute time limit.
