Teams of high school students from the Chicago area come together to engage in a contest to design, build, and demonstrate in- novative packaging machines at PACK EXPO International. The PACK Challenge offers students and schools an opportunity to collaborate with industry professionals to develop their own automated equipment that the schools will then keep, enabling them to further explore automa- tion and technology. The qualifying round presents an exciting prospect for schools aiming to showcase their innovative and creative abilities. Teams will compete for a change to bring their inventions to life during an in-person competition at PACK EXPO International 2024 in Chicago.
