MAKER: Hands-On Engineering Scavenger Hunt, a CNC Clue Challenge

摘要

In January each year, to celebrate the new semester at the University of Calgary, engineering students get together for a week of activities, competitions, and shenanigans. Homerooms, classrooms, and corridors bustle as departments participate in activities ranging from parades to movie nights to snow sculpture competitions. An activity unique to this week is called Key Clue - a week-long scavenger hunt to find a hidden key somewhere within the Calgary city limits. Viewed from an outside perspective, Key Clue could be compared to attempting to find a needle in a haystack, in a field of haystacks. Each engineering department forms a team that works together solving clues to find the key before the other departments. University alumni, in groups of two or three, organize and run the event, and are known as the Key Masters.
