think[box] Derby

Gear up for the Think[box] Derby!

Get ready for the ultimate blend of creativity, competition, and fun at the first annual Think[box] Derby — inspired by the iconic Nerdy Derby! This is not your traditional pinewood derby. There’s only one rule: there are no rules.*

*Well, maybe just a few… like keeping things university-friendly! University policies apply.

Build Your Car, Your Way
Unleash your imagination by crafting you car from any materials you like — as long as your car fits on the track. Whether you’re folding cardboard, carving a classic wood block, or sticking carrot wheels onto a zucchini frame, the possibilities are endless. You can build your car at home, at think[box], or at one of the pop-up workshops around campus — no experience required!

Race Categories
Compete in two thrilling categories:

• Fastest to the Finish Line — Speed demons, this one’s for you.
• Slowest to the Finish Line — A true test of precision and control.

Or conquer a bonus challenge:

• On top of the World — Can you stop at the top of the hill without rolling down the other side?
• Backtrack — Climb our track in reverse! Start at the finish line and end at the starting line.

Event Highlights
Beyond the races, there’s something for everyone:

• Screen-printed T-shirts — Create your own event keepsake.
• Delicious Food — Fuel up while you cheer on your friends.
• Derby "Build Bar" — Build from scratch on site or make a last minute fix. We’ve got you covered!
• Staff Choice Awards — Attain the title in categories like "Most Creative" and "Most Epic Fail."

Don’t miss out on this exciting, hands-on event. Gather your materials, rally your friends, and get ready to race!
