Invention Challenge

The JPL Annual Invention Challenge is going to be held this year. This is our 24th year of operation and we are so pleased to be able to offer this challenging STEAM-based contest again. Please look below for the link to the 2023 JPL Invention Challenge rules and other important documents.

The JPL Invention Challenge combines the skills of creativity, team building, designing, fabrication, testing, and solving complex problems into a fun and satisfying contest. JPL has had 23 years of creating these challenges and each one is different from any prior year’s contest. I encourage you to look at some of the previous contests just to see the variety of events that have been held over the years. This contest is unique in that the school teams that make it to the finals get to see what JPL teams have produced because the contest is run with both JPL teams and schools teams competing side-by-side.

This contest truly brings out the creativity and imagination for all who participate. By the end of the design, fabrication, and testing process, participants can actually say that they were performing as engineers and competing as an engineering team.

Have fun!
