EOH 2007 HIGHLIGHTS GRADE SCHOOL COMPETITION The Middle School Design Contest is a prepared design for teams of 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. This year the teams were asked to construct a vehicle made entirely out of cardboard and a dowel rod. The vehicle is to accommodate one passenger and will be released from rest at the top of a ramp. The team that achieves the greatest distance will be declared the winner.

Inspired by the famous cartoons by Rueben Lucius Goldberg, students find complex ways of accomplishing a simple task using ordinary (and sometimes not-so-ordinary) materials. Science and engineering principles are combined with creativity and ingenuity to create these awesome inventions. Stop by the Illini Union Ballrooms on Friday between 9am and 1pm to see these exciting machines in action and vote for your favorite one! ILLINI ENGINEERING CHALLENGE The 10th annual Illini Engineering Challenge is a set of onsite designs where visitors are asked to build, design and tinker their way to a given goal with the materials provided. The event will take place on Friday, March 9th, from 10 am to 3 pm and Saturday, March 10th, from 9 am to 3 pm. Judges will be on hand to explain the rules and guidelines for each design and all creations will be measured and tested by the judges. We encourage students, teachers, parents and visitors of all ages to stop by, compete with friends and family, and show off their engineering skills. AMD W.J. “JERRY” SANDERS CREATIVE DESIGN COMPETITION AMD W.J. “Jerry” Sanders Creative Design Competition is an annual robotic contest which allows some of the best engineering students in the Midwest to test their engineering skills and ingenuity. Robots will be moving colored hoops and discs to bases that will change color throughout each round. This is one of the largest and most exciting events at Engineering Open House and is sponsored by Advances Micro Devices. Come join us to encourage creativity and excellence in engineering!
