The Tower Challenge, organized by our department association, ACE, on 7 July 2026, provided students with an exciting opportunity to apply engineering principles through a hands-on structural design competition.
The event challenged participants to design and construct the tallest and strongest tower using only matchsticks and glue. Working in teams of up to five members, students showcased their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities while exploring concepts such as structural stability, load distribution, bracing, and material efficiency.
The competition encouraged participants to transform simple materials into innovative and resilient structures, demonstrating the practical application of civil engineering fundamentals.
A cash prize was awarded to the winning team from S3, comprising of Jiya George, Athulya Jose, Fathima Sidhik and Joanna Mariam Jimson. Congratulations winners!
