Sally Ride Annual TOYchallenge™ - The competition results in a lot of “self-learning” – students learn things that they need to know on their own, skills that they don’t always learn in school. When they form their own plans and come to their own conclusions, students not only retain what they’ve learned better, but they also feel more empowered, motivated and fulfilled. They learn skills they will use for the rest of their lives, whatever they choose to do as a career: imagination and collaboration skills are as important as engineering ideas. This is a competition where everybody wins!
