Preliminary information here about a Challenge for next year.  Details coming in August.  I was asked to put this "on your radar" for next school year.  Email Jim Wick with any questions.. I know we had some schools involved last year.  Sounds like a great opportunity!


UVM Aiken/Technology and Science Connection (TASC) Challenge



The Aiken/TASC Challenge is a program supported by the University of Vermont George D. Aiken Lectures that aims to involve young Vermonters in engineering and technology, a topic that long interested Senator Aiken. Students will build a device to meet an engineering challenge, and compete with their device at an event held at UVM. This year the event will be on Saturday, December 1, at the Davis Center. A preliminary description of the game can be found at http://www.uvm.edu/~aikeneng/?Page=rules.html&SM=TASC_challenge_submenu.html.  The final rules will be issued in late August, in time for the start of school.
