A hands-on engineering challenge meetup, headlined by the K'nex Motorcycle Derby.
IRONSWUG was a hands-on, engineering-challenge-flavored BostonSWUG meetup — headlined by the K'nex Motorcycle Derby, where small teams designed and built K'nex motorcycles, then raced them down a ramp for distance. It was a direct precursor to the K'nex Bridge Challenge that's since become a Summer Festival tradition.
Small teams designed and built K'nex motorcycles, then raced them down a ramp for distance — the headline event of the evening.
IRONSWUG swapped BostonSWUG's usual two-presentation format for this single hands-on engineering challenge, followed by networking, dinner, and raffle prizes as usual. It became a direct precursor to the K'nex Bridge Challenge, now a Summer Festival tradition.
