Minor Challenges Overview
From the months of March through to May, we will introduce you to some of the disciplines of engineering and areas of science. To do this we will set new challenges every two weeks relating to various fields of science and engineering. For each of these disciplines we will release three challenges at three levels of difficulty. Though these levels are designed to match your age groups, they are not limited to any set age and are open for anyone to try.
- Choose an area of science or engineering which interests you from the list
- Choose a challenge from your age category or higher
- Complete the experiment and explain your findings using multimedia i.e. with photos, drawings, images etc.
You must complete a minimum of TWO Minor Challenge projects from your age category or higher in total to be eligible to participate in the Major Challenge. Attempt as many of them as possible, including trying different levels as well as disciplines. This will help you to develop skills for the final Major Challenge, and it may even give you an idea to develop on for the Major Challenge.

Submission Guideline
In 2020, we are changing how submissions work. Instead of sending an email, this page will also serve as where submissions should be uploaded using the upload form below. Upload your file using the ‘Select File‘ button, fill out your details then it will allow you to ‘Upload File‘ successfully. Afterwards you should see a box confirming that your upload was successful. Expect a reply email after a few business days confirming successful completion of your Minor Challenge! Otherwise send us an email at [email protected].
If you need to send multiple files, it is best to zip your files into a single file then upload that. Click here for more information about zipping your files. DO NOT submit multiple uploads for a single Minor Challenge.
