Event Details

Mix it. Test it. Compete.

Do you....and your slime recipe... have what it takes to win gold?

Join us for the ultimate slime showdown where you’ll design and engineer your own custom slime to compete in three epic challenges:

The 1-Meter Slime Sprint
Whose slime moves fastest across a 1-meter track? Adjust your recipe to maximize flow speed and claim the title of Fastest Slime!

💪 The Slime Stronghold Challenge
Test your slime’s strength in a weight-lifting showdown! Each slime must hold increasing weight (washers, marbles, or small objects) without breaking. The slime that holds the most wins!

The Mega-Stretch Showdown
How far can your slime stretch without snapping? Compete in our elasticity challenge to see whose slime reaches the greatest length before breaking.
