HMC
Kinetic Sculpture Race at da Vinci Days

Get involved with this fusion of engineering and art and join your fellow alumni on selecting the HMC-worthy entry!


Deliverance entering the Willamette River
 

Kinetic sculptures are moving works of art, pedaled by human power over a rigorous, all-terrain course by teams of fun-loving racers. These engineering marvels move in all kinds of ingenious ways, sculpted into all sorts of fantastic shapes—sea anemone, school bus, flying pink elephant, slice of cheese, yellow submarine—everything imaginable! And the racers and their pit crews are part of the art, decked out in costumes and trying to out-compete each other in the entertaining show they put on for the spectators!  We will judge the entries and award a trophy for the best sculpture that personifies the Harvey Mudd College spirit.
