Henry Cluster Mini Golf Challenge

It is never too early to start planning for the next Mini Golf Challenge!! Put together your team, design and build your mini golf hole, and join our subscriber list for updates!

This NEXT year’s theme is:
Earth Day

Our city, our state, and our country have hunkered down at home to help manage the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. We are washing our hands, we are videoconferencing each other, and we are not meeting in groups. The 2020 Mini Golf Challenge is canceled. We are disappointed. We will miss you.

But if the mood strikes, it’s never too early to prepare for next year! Here are some links to inspiration and instruction:

 

If you build something, please share it with us on Facebook or Instagram! Stay well, stay safe, stay in touch.

About the Challenge
There is no registration fee for student teams. Teams that are at least half girls will be given registration preference.

Teams will design and build a mini golf hole that reflects this theme, and bring it to the mini golf course on the day of the event. During the Mini Golf Challenge, team members will interact with attendees (the golfers) to share what it was like working as a team, how they came up with their ideas, new knowledge they’ve acquired during the process, and other aspects of their experience. Event attendees will vote on the “Favorite Hole” and the winning team will bring back to their school the much-coveted Henry Cluster STEMM Foundation Mini Golf Challenge Trophy for display.

About the Teams
Teams with range in size from two to six students, split as evenly as possible between boys and girls. (Teams do not have to be co-ed, but teams that are at least half girls will get to choose their place on the course map before any teams that are not.) Teams will work with an adult mentor volunteer (a teacher or parent/guardian) to collect the starter kit, design and build the hole, set up and take down the hole at Mission Trails Church, and prepare submission materials. Detailed registration packets will be distributed to adult team mentors, and will also be available for download.
