SeeS Money

The engineering design day is unique among the SeeS events. Instead of running stations for the students to rotate through, the students are grouped together and assigned a science or engineering student volunteer to guide them along. The student groups then complete the task by making a design, "buying" materials using SeeS money, and then building it. The best design wins!
