The Main project: Contestants are required to demonstrate their creative ideas by crafting products that have never been seen before within 72 hours. During this period of time, they will be isolated from the outside world as well as from other teams. The main project emphasizes on both natural science and humanity.
Contestants start the contest with neither fund nor material. They must complete various side tasks to earn “virtual money”, which is for buying actual materials from Virtual shop. The side tasks are splited into three categories - Natural Science, Social Science and Physical Fitness. Team must challenge each category of side tasks evenly. Therefore, teammates must have different specialties.
The main project product will be evaluated by a committee for its creativity, theme, appearance and functions. To finish the project in such a short time, contestants must make use of what they learn at school, their physical endurance, and good team work skill in order to accomplish their strategies and meet the requirements of the main project within the 72-hour period.
