The annual event was held at Tech Interactive’s science and technology center in downtown.
Around 2,000 students from across the Bay Area are competing in the Tech Interactive’s annual Tech Challenge event this weekend at the nonprofit’s science and technology center in downtown San Jose.
Their challenge this year? Use their engineering skills to build a structure that can defend against extreme winds — not unlike the ones that pummeled the Bay Area during this year’s powerful atmospheric river storms. “It has been a great year for making people aware of storms … and inspiring our youth to be climate scientists and environmental engineers,” said Abby Longcor, senior director of Tech Challenge.
Students from the 4th through 12th grade entered the event in about 500 different teams. Competitions are taking place through Sunday, and students are eligible for a variety of awards, ranging from best overall design to best use of materials.

Tech-rooted groups seek to shake up San Francisco politicsTech entrepreneurs who flocked into San Francisco two decades ago bringing jobs and wealth, and also soaring housing prices and gentrification, are becoming a rising political force in a city they say is woefully off track. They are forming advocacy groups to pressure officials on rising housing costs, public drug dealing and other woes. The groups differ in priorities but all say a small group of progressive power brokers has stymied solutions to some of the city's most pressing issues. A progressive supervisor who has become a favored target of the new political influencers from the tech world takes a dim view of them, saying they aren't true champions for regular San Franciscans.
