We Are Rad(ish) (Kirkland)
2nd place & Renaissance Award in Structural "Lose To Win" Secondary Level Challenge
"This award is given for a transformation using magnets & thermochromic paint to switch in a unique way between 3 portraits. The team created two mechanical marvels on top of their Structure and Removal Device. The team’s solution involved a painting that started as a portrait of a queen. The portrait was then transformed through a series of plates that were sprung off the portrait using a line of magnets cranked across the back. The team then poured warm water into the frame to again change the face using thermochromic paint. The solution also included an enlarged head that blinked on a timer, had a movable mouth and eyebrows, as well as a physical sneeze."
