Dragster Design
Throwback Design Challenge (for the 2017 conference only): TSA is “flashing back” to the late 1970s when the event was called LSRAV (Land Speed Record Assault Vehicle). At that time there were no “shell cars.” For 2017 only, all four (4) wheels must be completely exposed. No part of the vehicle body may cover any part of the front or back wheels. -
Engineering Design
Theme: Provide Access to Clean Water -
Fashion Design and Technology
The need to recycle existing fabrics and other materials becomes more important as fresh/new materials become harder to come by and/or less sustainable. The theme for the 2016-2017 school year is recycling in fashion. Teams must use recycled materials to design and create a total of three different prototypes (garments). -
