I've got a challenge for our engineering students. We are wanting two different builds completed for the expo this year. The first is a Karaoke infused Ruben's Tube and the other is a "Musical" Tesla Coil. All qualified entries (regardless of how many) will get to display their work at the Engineering Expo on November 4.
As both of these can be dangerous and you have never done them, they must be done
1. With adult supervision at all times
2. Done like the instructions given before making any "improvements"
3. You must have your parents permission, in writing, before beginning.

The challenge is this:
1. Present your parent's permission letter before beginning.
2. All teams wishing to enter, must have completed their device by October 10.
3. A video demonstration will be uploaded to the Engineering YouTube channel for popular voting.
4. A panel presentation/demonstration will be given on or about October 16.
5. The winning device (one of each kind) will be determined by a combination of the popular vote, the panel presentation, and School of Engineering faculty.
6. The winning devices will be able to be on the news promo we usually do right before the expo. Being on the news is dependent on the news station bringing us again and allowing us to bring the devices.
