Design Challenge

Please be sure to reference the correct material for your Division! 


Apollo Division teams will create an infographic based on an experimental design. Infographics should be emailed by the deadline - January 20, 2025 to the email listed on the rubric. 


Mercury Division teams will create a mailbox. Mailboxes should be brought to Kennedy for the team's presentation. 


Both Apollo and Mercury will design a patch, which they will present during their judge presentation. Patches are due on January 21, 2026.


Teams should arrive at Kennedy with their 20 minute presentation on a USB drive. Presentations will be judged on content AND presentation skills such as volume, speed, along with understandable content and visuals. 


Additional information about how to prepare your team for the design challenge can be found in the coaches manual on page 69.
