Problem Our Machine Is Solving

New Century School integrates a STEM-based curriculum supported by Computational Thinking and Inquiry-Based Learning as the foundational overarching instructional programming.

The Engineering Machine Design Contest is sponsored by the Minnesota State Engineering Center of Excellence and is an opportunity for teams to design and build a complex machine. The completed machine includes multiple steps to complete a simple task. Teams showcase and exhibit their machine at a regional contest with the opportunity to advance to the Engineering Machine Design Championship. Teams are scored on a Team Journal, Team Presentation, and Machine Design and Operation. The 2022 Theme: Energy!
