During this challenge, the students are divided into teams. The club members are mixed up across the teams so new connections and friends from around the state are made. The students spend the day working in their teams to design, build, and test their solutions to the challenge problem given. Students eat in the dining halls and also go on a campus tour. Around 8pm, the winners of the challenge are announced and students head home to enjoy the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next High School Engineering challenge is Friday, April 10, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-6\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-6\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
