Innovision — Where Ideas Come Alive
Innovation Through Working Models
Entry limit: 1 team per school
What this event involves
Teams build a working scientific model on the spot, then demonstrate it, explain the science behind it and answer the judges' questions.
Twenty suggested topics are shared in advance — senior topics lean towards sensors, automation and sustainability.
