2013 Regional Science and Engineering Challenge

Purpose of the Challenge

The Darling Downs Science and Engineering Challenge is held at USQ each year. It:

allows students to engage in a set of fun and competitive activities involving principles of science, engineering and technology
provides students with a challenge and a selection of materials to complete the set task
immediately engages students in activities with a minimum of introduction and theory
allows students to explore scientific principles for themselves rather than being guided to a predetermined answer.

How is the Challenge judged?

Each day eight schools will compete against each other. At the end of each day, the team with the most points will receive a trophy and the three highest scoring teams from throughout the Challenge will go on to compete in the Super Challenge against teams from northern New South Wales and Brisbane.

Registration

The 2013 Challenge will be held from Tuesday 21 May to Friday 24 May 2013. Nominations are now being invited from schools to participate in 2013.
