TCEA Convention 2018
3D Design Contest
TCEA’s 3D Design Contest
Through the new 3D Design Contest from TCEA, you will promote STEM thinking as your students develop and design an invention to solve a TCEA supplied real-world problem. From 3D printed prosthetics for amputees to emergency shelters that can be produced in 30 minutes flat, 3D printer technology has engineered some incredibly innovative fixes for the good of mankind.
This competition lets students become the creators. A prompt for an engineering design challenge is provided each year. Students will use the Engineering Design Process (see below) and 3D modeling software to create a solution. They will approach their problem like engineers and rely on critical thinking skills to create inventions that have a meaningful impact on the world.
Contest Registration: February 19 – March 5, 2018
Contest Design Entry: March 5- March 30, 2018
