Are you ready to push the boundaries of gingerbread house building? Gather your team and bring your creativity and engineering skills to the Extreme Gingerbread House Challenge! Design and construct the most impressive gingerbread structure you can imagine, but here’s the twist: your creation must endure a simulated earthquake! Faculty and staff judges will first evaluate the aesthetics and creativity of your design before putting it to the ultimate test on our shake table. We provide all the supplies; you bring your squad (up to 4 people). 

This event is open exclusively to Georgetown undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students.

Sign ups have closed, but you're still encouraged to come spectate and cheer on your friends!
