Overview

MacGyver is more than just a hot shot character from a 1980s television show. To MacGyver is now a verb that describes making or repairing something in an improvised or inventive way, and that is exactly what we want you to do for the MacGyver Challenge!

It is time to take whatever items you can get your hands on and use them to make something, anything. As long as your method is nontraditional, it works. Think you have what it takes? The best MacGyver of the group will be taking home a MacBook Air! Make sure you keep your duct tape and paper clips within reach and start asking yourself: what would MacGyver do?

The MacGyver Challenge is closed.
