What is Plank-A-Palooza?
It's a challenging event in wich teams use 500 KEVA planks to design and build a structure in 30 minutes. No glue is needed, just gravity. This highly energized construction event creates interest in math and science and encourages creativity and collaboration.
Entry fees are $500 for corporate teams and $250 for student/nonprofit. Awards criteria include best design and meeting specific measurements. Corporate sponsorships are also available with marketing benefits.
What are KEVA planks?
KEVA planks are precision cut maple blocks (about 1/4" x 3/4" x 4 1/2") that stack on four different planes with surprising stability.Visit www.kevaplanks.com to see examples of the amazing structures you can build.
