Make a 3D model within 2 hours and be judged for innovation, structure, use of material, and explanation.
Have strict limitations and complete the design in 5 minutes. The time given requires detailed work to be done within the specified timeframe.
Employ paper, wire, fabric, thermocol, and clay to skillfully practice and build strongly bonded stable models.
Models must be looking from angles that are aesthetically clean and pleasant; cuts must be clean and accurate with no glue stains or misalignments of parts.
Never employ beaten concepts, do not attempt the banal, purposeless, theme-less models that serve no function.
Articulate the design details within the theme such as materials to be used, clarity of concept, and try to be as clear as possible within the 100-150 word limit.
Practice in the real world with actual questions from former years, work on minimizing execution time through consistent practiced drills.
