    Location: WCTC Main Campus (Waukesha County Technical College), 800 Main St, Pewaukee, WI 53072, USA


    Description:

    Contrapt Wisconsin Waukesha will be held on April 24, 2026. This year's theme is "Make it Grow" - teams of middle school students will build a contraption that waters a plant in 8 or more steps.

    A contraption accomplishes a simple task in the most complicated, fun way possible. Building one can be challenging, but it allows students to work on skills involving engineering, simple machines, trial and error, project planning, physics, teamwork, and creativity. The competition enables students to showcase their talents to their peers and our judges, with the chance to earn awards. 

    If you are interested in judging, please contact Theresa Wolf at twolf@stemforward.org.
