Description: Students, working in groups, create an innovative design model and compare their creations with their peers. This year the design brief was to make a car that was made of ordinary objects and propelled by a mouse trap. A public event to test the design and innovations was held in the Experience 1 studio, an informal learning environment for first year engineering students. Students were assessed by interview with a 'scruitineer' on the merits of their creation as well as performance - distance that the car was propelled.
