The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition poses a new engineering challenge each year for teams of high school students who are matched up with businesses and engineers. Their task is to brainstorm and then create robots that can assume the challenge. www.usfirst.org

The Intel International Science & Engineering Fair - is a competition for high school students all over the world where they compete for scholarship money, scientific equipment and trips, tuition grants, and the grand prize is a trip to the Nobel Prize Ceremonies. www.sciserv.org/isef/

The Engineers Week Future City Competition is a fun, exciting, educational program for seventh- and eighth-grade students, combining a stimulating engineering challenge with "hands-on" application. Students design cities of the future using SimCity 3000 Unlimited software and use recycled materials to build a table-top scale model of one section of this design. Students are also expected to defend their city design against a panel judges in a 5 - 7 minute presentation and to write a 500 word essay on an assigned engineering topic. www.futurecity.org
