We were probably the goofiest team at the competition. Given a budget of 100 dollars, most of which we spent on pizza, we were tasked to build a contraption to cool down a copper plate as much as possible. We landed on using a flywheel but ours was made out of a kiddie bike! Beat that! I sawed my dear friend Justin’s childhood kidde bike in half and we poured instant concrete into it. Then we had to make a stand out of scrapwood leftover from our school play, hook the bike wheel up to a motor, and then attach that to a Peltier. After months of late-night work sessions, we were able to snag 4th place overall. Now as we have matured and grown over the last year, me and my team are coming for #1 in 2025!
