The International AstroGEN - Think Tank Innovation Competition focuses on utilizing engineering principles in order to improve upon an existing product, mechanism, or invention and bring forth some novel change. This is an international competition for high-achieving high school students that is being co-hosted with Think Tank, a scientific community, and being done in association with Astropods, the International Youth Developers Association, Sciencelunch, and the Future Tech Research Labs. With the core of AstroGEN-NSSEA being Physics, Engineering, and Computer Science, we hope you can apply all of these principles to create a cohesive project that pushes the bounds of a novel research concept. Think Tank also encourages you to push the bounds of your existing knowledge and explore these areas further. The task is to find an existing mechanism, such as a bicycle wheel, and find a problem with said mechanism. For example, a bicycle wheel might have some structurally weak points and is not able to universally traverse terrain. Keeping this problem in mind, you should develop a solution through scientific principles and detail how the solution addresses the given problem. The solution need not be super complex, but we encourage you to delve into topics you might not normally approach. We also encourage you to keep costs in mind, for this is an important concept in engineering.
