Delivery of Emergency Supplies TASC Competition
An earthquake or other natural disaster has destroyed homes, hospitals, bridges, airports, roads, harbors, and the rail system, isolating an area and leaving residents without access to shelter, hospitals, stores, or pharmacies. Students will create a device that can deliver “Emergency Relief Supplies” to provide critical supplies to people isolated by the natural disaster. Supplies must be delivered to designated locations in the simulated
landscape where they can be retrieved by the isolated population and avoid areas such as swamps, rivers, mountains, and ponds where the supplies would be difficult to retrieve or damaged.
