The 24th Annual Tech Challenge

April 30, 2011, The Tech Museum of Innovation is hosting the 24th Annual Tech Challenge event for students from grades 5 through 12.
This Year's Challenge is Trash Island - The Great Pacific Gyre.

Mission
Rid the oceans of trash caused by man at different depths without harming sea life.
Join us in our efforts to educate and enlighten the next generation of engineers and scientist at this unique event.
Last year's Tech Challenge drew 1000 participants from throughout the SF Bay Area. This year's project promises to be one of our most successful to date.
I look forward to speaking with a representative of your organization in the near future.
