Students can design and build the vehicles as an entire
class project or school group activity. The group must be affiliated
with a school or home-school network and/or demonstrate that 1) the
participating students are currently enrolled in a high school, college,
university, or home-school network and 2) the students are working under
the supervision of an adult mentor.* Students can divide themselves
into groups that focus on various aspects of vehicle design and operation.

|
|
Teams must have at least three students with at least
one faculty member or adult advisor involved in the process. One student
should be designated as the team spokesperson. |
|
Individuals from industry, businesses, research organizations,
and/or government can act as mentors during the design and building
process. These individuals can provide students and their instructors
with guidance and technical expertise, but cannot be actively involved**
in construction and operation. |

* Competition organizers will review registration
forms and make the final decisions about teams' participation. |

** Active involvement can be evaluated on
a case-by-case basis. |
