Challenge+2011

**Sea Perch Institute Challenge 2011: Oil Spill**
This year's challenge will be a simulated oil spill, like the [|Deepwater Horizon oil spill] that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in the summer of 2010. We plan to host the challenge at MIT's Zesiger Center Pool.

Find it, analyse it, solve it.

=Oil Spill FAQ= What kind of problems can your school solve? Learn more about some of the real life questions and problems that engineers faced in the summer of 2010.

=**Simulation Details**= We'll make the simulation as realistic as it needs to be for your students, but we can't simulate every aspect of a complex disaster. So tell us what angle your students are interested in approaching the problem from, and we'll get to work. Check back here for details of the simulation as they develop, or start the conversation here to work out how the different schools will work together.
