Past contest design challenge projects

Just because a contest is over doesn’t mean you can’t still give that design challenge a try!

While we are no longer accepting submissions for the contests related to these design challenges, the projects are still worth exploring. These challenges make excellent class projects, perfect for showing your students that learning computer science isn’t just about writing programs! The Edison robot design challenges are an ideal way to explore design thinking and put 21st Century skills to the test. 

If you and your students do take on one of these challenges, we’d love to see what you create! Send us your pics and videos at social@microbric.com or add them to the online community of Edison awesomeness on PinterestFacebookTwitterInstagram or YouTube.

Heads up

The Australian Federal Parliament has passed a law that extends goods and services tax (GST) to low value imports of physical goods imported by consumers from 1 July 2018.

This means that all customers purchasing Edison robots and accessories with an Australian shipping address must now pay GST. The GST will be automatically added to your purchase and show as a line item on your invoice.

We've detected that you are in Australia, so we wanted to let you know that we have changed your settings to view our Australian site, which displays GST inclusive pricing.
