Turner Logic will celebrate National Engineers Week by hosting an Open Engineering Competition. This competition will highlight San Antonio’s growing tech sector by demonstrating local engineering talent. It will also be an opportunity to emphasize the importance of teaching math, science, and technical skills to our younger generations.

The challenge is open to all of San Antonio, and up to 16 teams may participate. The challenge will involve building a remote control vehicle capable of completing a mission while competing head-to-head with other teams. Cash prizes will be awarded for the 1st and 2nd place teams with a grand prize of up to $2,000 for 1st place.

There is a $250 entry fee per team so that everyone has skin in the game. Each team may have up to 10 members. The suggested team budget for vehicle construction materials is $250, although this is not mandated. Each team will be supplied with a radio control transmitter and receiver, along with practice materials. Detailed rules will be provided upon challenge release in early January.

Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available. Please contact us for details.
