DSHS engineering students competed at the recent Land Rover 4x4 in Schools National Championship event. The challenge involves between three and six team members working together to design and build a radio-controlled four-wheel drive (4x4) vehicle to exact specifications. The vehicle must be able to successfully negotiate a specially designed test track emulating real life and it must perform as a full scale 4x4 vehicle would do in an off-road situation.
The competition embodies STEM, project and teamwork, with judging in the following categories: Innovative Thinking, Best Engineered Vehicle, Research & Development, Best Track Time, Best Portfolio and Pit Display, Best Verbal Presentation, Marketing, and Spirit
Dripping Springs was represented by two teams.
