Overview

There is something every engineer has in common, no matter what type of engineer they are, who they are or where they live. Do you have any idea what this is? I'll give you a guess. Give up? They all eat food!

Given that engineers need to eat to survive, we thought it would be fun to have a contest that applies principles of engineering to the kitchen. This can mean inventing new kitchen gadgets, doing engineering experiments with food, or otherwise applying principles of engineering in ways appropriate to the kitchen.


Autodesk Judge's Prize

In addition to the regular prize levels, three $300 prizes will be awarded by our judges to projects that incorporate any Autodesk software in a notable way. This can include Tinkercad, Fusion, Inventor, Forma, Revit, 3DS Max, Maya, or any of the software listed on this page.

Requirements

To enter this contest you must:

  • Be a student who is currently enrolled in and actively attending school.
  • Demonstrate a use of engineering in a manner somehow related to the kitchen.
