Drop Tower Competition
Secondary students from the United States are annually challenged to design and build hardware to be tested in NASA’s 2.2 Second Drop Tower. NASA has offered curiosity-based challenges in the past (such as CELERE, DIME, and WING), but the current contests are problem-based and relevant to NASA research and space exploration technologies.
Past Drop Tower Challenges and Competitions
While these drop tower challenges/competitions are no longer being offered, an overview of the design challenge, background information and selected schools are listed. Educators might want to use these competition in their classroom for discussion or for drop tower related activities.
