The #BearDownMaskUp Challenge was a 4-week competition challenging students to come up with creative solutions to encourage fellow students to mask up and socially distance, and follow prevention guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19 on campus. Entries were be judged on creativity, advocacy of public health best practices, and feasibility.

Virtual classrooms are the new normal, but for some class activities, Zoom just doesn’t cut it. When we can’t be in the same physical space, how can we use technology to improve our visual, hands-on, and collaborative classroom experiences? The Engineer Your World Challenge was created in hopes of solving this very problem.
