The Renaissance Award for outstanding Design, Engineering, Execution, Performance

This team blew the appraisers away with their risky hover craft design and flawlessly organized execution.  This solution was beyond our wildest expectations.  They used advanced strategies and infrastructure to create an amazingly efficient design that had been precisely planned to account for surprising challenges.

They calculated their way to an outstanding solution, by using team created calibration tools they were able to ensure the mathematically precise placement of their equipment in order to maximize its functionality.  Their highly complex equipment design showed an elegance and craftsmanship beyond their years.

This team constructed a remarkable scenery changing apparatus.  The sophisticated and intricate gear system demonstrated a knowledge of mechanics beyond their years and their lighting brought the night sky to life.  The many aspects of this rotating set, from mechanics to lighting to design, gave everyone on this team a chance to truly shine

This team’s TV set scenery perfectly facilitated the teams performance from the moment it was “Switched” on it helped the movie trailer to flow smoothly.  The action, from high speed to slow motion, perfectly highlighted the plot details and built our suspense… This memorable trailer made us eager to see more, we can’t wait for the movie!
