“Engineering Our Future”  is a Rockwell Automation video contest for FIRST® teams to share big ideas for improving communities and our world. The goal of the contest is ” to ignite the imaginations of this next generation of innovators and get them thinking about how they will apply the engineering skills they’re learning through FIRST to make a difference in their communities and our world.”

Always up for a video contest, plus the possibility of being among the top teams Rockwell Automation will split $10,000 between, Team Duct Tape entered their answer to the question, “What could your team engineer that would have a positive impact on your community and our world?” –  A Fresnel Lens Water Purification System.  You can see their video below.

The contest is decided by popular vote, with each person permitted one vote once per day until the contest ends on Nov. 29th.  We hope you’ll consider our video and a vote for Team Duct Tape. You do not have to register or give out any information to vote.
