The COVID-19 Student Engineering Design Challenge provides students of all ages (primary, secondary and higher education) with a platform to identify and design solutions to challenges and worldwide problems related to the pandemic. Students are encouraged to identify areas of need, brainstorm and design solutions, and communicate their ideas to their classmates, families, and community members via online environments or following physical distancing guidelines established by their teachers and/or schools.
