During the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic we had created a contest for the community. The contest has a Star Wars theme due to the FIRST Robotics challenge during that year and the involvement Star Wars has with technology. The contest has 3 levels of challenges; beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
To see our Contest policy, you can go here.
Beginner Level:
In Star Wars, there are many different communities with a high variety of creatures living in them. Your task for the Beginner Level was to:
- Create a new creature for a Star Wars community
- Show your creation by using STEAM in a creative way. (Some ways you could do that was by creating a drawing or model of the creature.)
- No functionality of your creature was required
Intermediate Level:
Transportation is a very important and key aspect of the Star Wars universe. Communities utilize different methods of transportation to both get around and protect themselves from danger. Your task for the Intermediate Level was to:
- Create a new vehicle or form of transportation for a Star Wars character.
- Functionality of your creation was not required but could be a fun aspect to be able to include two different letters of STEAM which was needed to be eligible to win.
Advanced Level:
In Star Wars, some of the main characters have their own Robot sidekicks. R2-D2 and BB-8 are two of the better known droids of the Star Wars Universe. These two mini sidekicks assist the main characters in completing different missions. Your task for the Advanced Level was to:
- Create a new robot sidekick.
- The robot needed to have some functionality to be eligible to win.
- To include at least two of the letters of STEAM, you could write up/draw the step by step process that resulted in your creation.
