Current Contest: Coolest Microsim Contest
Dive into the world of mechanical principles with our “Coolest Microsim Contest.” This competition encourages students, families, and classrooms to create interactive microsimulations (Microsims) based on foundational mechanical concepts. It’s an opportunity to bring theoretical principles to life through the power of programming and visualization.
Participants are invited to choose from 30 mechanical principles to develop their Microsims. The contest not only tests technical prowess but also rewards creativity and educational value. Entrants can win cash prizes and other exciting rewards, with special recognition for categories like “Most Creative” and “Most Educational.”
To participate, showcase your Microsim in a one-minute video on social media, tagged with #Microsim. This contest promotes not just mechanical and programming skills, but also the spirit of learning and community engagement through shared knowledge.
