Competition Updates

The following updates are for the Oklahoma State Leadership Conference only. 
Middle School
 
CAD Foundations - Each contestant must bring a computer and hotspot (if needed for web-based software). Students will upload their finished solution as a PDF to the JudgePro site. (NO USB flash drive will be used)
​
Mechanical Engineering - Mousetrap cars will be run on a low-pile carpeted surface
​
Junior Solar Sprint - Due to the unpredictable Oklahoma Weather of not only rain but also wind, this year's Solar Sprint races will be held indoors in Oklahoma EF. Vehicle power will be sourced from the battery pack(two AA batteries).  A solar panel must still be attached and wired to the vehicle along with the switch and the NC button. 

The race surface will still be a rubber mat that has been used in previous years.

 
Structural Engineering - No Semifinalist on-site structure construction.
2024-2025 Design Brief - The two column towers will be placed on the bases 8" apart instead of 6" apart to accomodate the center plate on testers. The test block can be a minimum of 12" instead of 10".
