Introduction
Head-to-head Build Challenges involve direct competition between participants, simultaneously or in real-time. A build prompt is provided, students have time to build, and then there's a judging phase, all within a decided upon period (for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour) Build Challenges are aligned with sports such as running or swimming, where athletes don't directly affecting their opponent, but they compete simultaneously. These experiences encourage quick thinking, adaptability, and problem-solving. Having a designated time also allows for spectators, which fosters excitement and community building.
