The Tech Challenge is a design challenge competition for students Grades 4–12.<ref>{{cite web | title = The Tech Challenge - About Us | publisher = The Tech Museum of Innovation | url = http://thetechchallenge.thetech.org/about-us | access-date = 2013-03-14 }}</ref> Since its inception in 1988, more than 25,000 students have participated in the program, in which teams of students use the engineering design process to solve a real-world problem. In past years, participants have been asked to design and build a hovercraft; a structure to withstand an earthquake; and a device to deliver water, among other challenges. One of the program's key goals is to engage students underrepresented in STEM fields.<ref>{{cite web | title = Cupertino Students Blow Out the Tech Challenge | website= Cupertino Patch | date= 23 April 2013 | url = http://cupertino.patch.com/groups/schools/p/cupertino-students-blow-out-the-tech-challenge | access-date = 2014-02-06 }}</ref>
