PROGRAM

Truss Tower Competition 2024

​

OBJECTIVE

1. To foster interest and talent among students in research and development of science, engineering, and mathematics innovation.

2. To enhance skills and develop innovation in designing Truss Tower models to produce innovative projects.

3. To expose students to analyzing forces on Truss Tower model members.

4. To improve communication and social skills during the project development process.

 

PARTICIPATION TARGET

Divided into two categories: High school students and Higher education institution students.

​​

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Students must comply with the model specifications, and the model design should be either statically determinate or statically indeterminate up to 2 degrees only. The evaluation is based on the lightest tower weight and maximum load capacity, aside from creativity.
