What you’ll build

Build an Olympic arena with a podium, a torch and a scoreboard, then put machines through five events: speed, fewest parts, reliability, ease of use and wow. Add up the scores, award gold, silver and bronze, and a prize for the funniest fail.

Finish line: Your Invention Olympics is done, the score sheet is complete and the medals are on the podium.

Bonus challenge: Add a sixth event that someone else invents. Does it change who wins gold?

You’ll need

  • Machines to compete
  • Podium blocks
  • Signs
  • Family competitors
  • A score sheet

You choose

  • My Olympics name
  • My 5 events
  • My bet for the gold winner

Stuck?

  • Agree how each event is scored before anyone competes.
  • For reliability, run every machine the same number of times.
  • No rival machines? Enter two of your own and judge them against each other.
