Emergency Fuel Delivery: Bridge Design Challenge

Emergency Fuel Delivery: Bridge Design Challenge

Friday, June 26, 2026

Grades 1 to 3

Join us for Emergency Fuel Delivery, a hands-on engineering challenge where students must respond to a simulated emergency scenario. After a storm blocks the main route to the city’s nuclear power plant, participants will design and build a bridge, then program a robot to cross it and deliver critical fuel supplies. Through this exciting challenge, students will explore structural design, coding, robotics, and the engineering design process while developing problem-solving skills and connecting with peers and engineering role models.
