365 SMART (Science, Math, Art, Recreation, and Technology) Academy
UAF Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning created the 365 SMART Academy, which provides virtual and in-person enrichment courses for K-12 students to supplement their academic curriculum.
Spring semester 2023 has 33 different exciting courses over two 6-week sessions that begin in March 20-April 28. Check out the extensive variety of learning opportunities!

The premise of this year's challenge is simple: design and build a device that can pick up a ping pong ball at a distance and return it to the starting line. The device has to be built using only the specified materials, but there are lots of design approaches students can take to solve the challenge.
Submissions will be accepted until March 19, 2023, but all the resources you need are available for students to start planning, designing, building, and testing their Ping Pong Pickup tools now!
