High School Design Competition

Explore. Innovate. Achieve.

High School Design is a free event that takes place annually in the fall, putting high school students' creativity, teamwork skills, technical knowledge, and abilities to the test. Each High School Design features new engineering design challenges in various engineering disciplines created by students in the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows (SELF) Program. Working as individuals or in small teams, high school students design, build, and test a project that addresses the design criteria. 

High School Design is hosted by the KU School of Engineering, while SELF fellows plan and execute the event. A total of $12,000 in scholarships will be awarded to the winning teams across the six engineering disciplines.
