2020 Edible Car Contest winners announced

Feb. 24, 2020 — DENTON — Texas Woman’s University hosted its 22nd annual Edible Car Contest Friday, Feb 21. The contest challenged Dallas-Fort Worth area grade school students to combine their creative ideas with principles of mathematics and physics. Students in teams of four (with a minimum of two female participants per team) built small cars entirely out of edible materials, which were then judged in several categories, including ingenuity, mobility and design. The teams also competed against each other for the fastest race times by rolling their cars down an inclined racetrack.

The event was judged by TWU faculty and staff, and supported by TWU student volunteers.
