The University of Melbourne invites year 10 students from across Victoria to participate in their annual Amazing Spaghetti Machine Contest. Students work in teams and put their maths, science, engineering and project management skills to the test in the creation of a ‘spaghetti machine’ — an overly complex device that is used to perform a relatively simple task.
Teams have five months to design, plan and build their machines before demonstrating their creations on-campus at the University of Melbourne on judging day.
