Build-a-Bent
Deadline TBA
Email Submission
Are you passionate about creating cool things, Tau Bates? Well, we have an upcoming event for you! As we are unable to go to campus to polish the bent, we have decided on an alternative while the pandemic goes on. We are pleased to announce our first-ever Build-a-Bent Contest!
Let your imagination run wild! Think of any way to create a bent, which can include anything from drawing, software tools (3D printing, PCBs, programming, mathematical models, etc.), or physical designs, like carved into a pumpkin for spooky season. Email us back your final product and the top finalists from every category will be featured on our social media, including our TBP CSUN website!
