A STEM Team Building Activity for Local Companies
Imagine \;your team participating in a gauntlet of \;STEM activities \;against other teams from other companies. \; \;
\n\nImagine \;the challenge posed to \;solve problems \;and \;complete tasks \;quickly working as a team. \;
\n\nImagine \;the fun of working together to be event \;champions. \; \;
\n\nEven more\, \;imagine \;supporting \;an amazing cause!
\n \;
Your company can register teams of five associates for a minimum of $500 per team. \;
\n\nRegistration will be completed and fundraising will be tracked on our Qgiv event site.
\n\nThere are lots of special events in the community: \; 5k runs\, golf tournaments... you name it. \; But here'\;s a chance for companies to show off their competitive juices with \;science\, technology\, engineering\, and math.
\n\nThe STEM Corporate Challenge will be held in three locations in May. \; Up to 25 teams will compete at each event to take home the championship trophy. \; A team will consist of five business colleagues. \; Teams will participate in five timed competitions. \; Referees will officiate the modules and scores will be tracked. \; Total scores will determine winning teams.
\n\nPrizes will be awarded to the \;overall top scoring team\, top fundraising team\, and top individual fundraiser. \;Top team and individual fundraisers will be determined by individual donations received through Qgiv\, NOT including corporate registration fees. \;We encourage all teams\, whether company or individually funded\, to use Qgiv\, our fundraising site\, to raise as much as possible. \;
\n\nElectrical Competition
\n\nIn the electrical competition\, each team is given a box of electrical parts with instructions on wiring a circuit comprised of five components. \; It is a timed event so points are awarded for fastest completion.
\n\nRelay Competition
\n\nThe relay is a series of science and engineering activities that are done sequentially by each team. \; The secret is to work together and strategize on best approaches. \; It is a timed event so points are awarded for fastest completion.
\n\nMath Competition
\n\nThe math competition is made up of four activities that involve geometry and mathematics. \; Time is allotted for each activity and points are awarded for a total score in each area.
\n\nCivil Engineering Competition
\n\nThe civil engineering competition is a timed event where each team is given an assignment to build the tallest tower with materials provided. \; Points are awarded for the height of the tower.
\n\nRobotics Competition
