Drawing ContestWhether you’re gliding across the ice on your skates, lighting up the room with a twinkling tree, or pulling delicious goodies from your oven, engineering makes the holiday season magical in many ways. Once again, we’re inviting you and your class to draw your ideas about how engineering adds joy to the winter season. Share your all-time favourites, or even dream up and draw new inventions: maybe a space-age suit for Santa? How about a gingerbread skyscraper?

This year, classes can enter the contest in two ways: send us your students’ drawings, or share videos or images on social media of your students working on their drawings. Use the hashtag #EngineeringTheHolidays.

We’ll feature the entries in a special Engineers Canada holiday greeting video, and every class that participates will also be entered to win one of three prize packs – each includes $150 to support your school’s science, technology, engineering, and math programs. Every school that shares their work with the hashtag #EngineeringTheHolidays will also be entered to win an additional $50 prize.

Step 1: Imagine

Engineering is all around you. If science tells us how the natural world works, engineering uses those discoveries to improve our lives. Work with your students to think about different ways engineering applies to life in the wintertime.

Step 2: Create

It’s time to turn those great ideas into pictures! Just remember to remove any information that identifies your students, except for a first name on their drawings if they like.

If you like, you can also make a short video or take photos to show your students’ amazing creativity at work. Capture them dreaming up their creations, putting pen to paper, and/or showing off their finished drawings.

Step 3: Submit

To send us your students’ drawings, scan them electronically, take pictures of them, or mail us the originals (if you’d like them returned to you, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope).

To submit a video or photo entry of your class’s creative process, share it on Twitter or Facebook using #EngineeringTheHolidays.

Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, December 5, 2017. Please make sure to include your name, your class’s grade, and your school’s name with your submissions, as well as your contact information so that we can get in touch should you be selected as a winner.
