The DriveWorks Challenge is Live
Join the DriveWorks Challenge
During the June DriveWorks Drivers meeting, Paul Gimbel, DriveWorks Sherpa announced the launch of the first-ever DriveWorks Challenge!
If you missed it, here’s what it’s all about:
The idea is simple, we will provide you with a brief and a starter project, and all you need to do is complete the project to meet the requirements in the brief. The challenge is designed to be relatively quick (we certainly don’t want to make more work for you!) and to help you explore new ways of thinking and working within DriveWorks.
The goal of The DriveWorks Challenge is to provide you with a quick, fun puzzle that can help you shift mental gears and change the way that you look at DriveWorks and at your own implementation.
We will give you plenty of time (think calendar, not timer) to complete the challenge and you can put as much or as little effort into it as you see appropriate.
We want to see your most creative solutions!
At the end of the challenge, we will post a video and DriveWorks Package (.drivepkg) showing how we solved the challenge, along with some of our favorite submissions.
You can then take those newfound techniques back to your implementation.
Who Can Take the Challenge and When?
The DriveWorks Challenge is open to, and achievable by, all DriveWorks skill levels. No engineering, IT or SOLIDWORKS knowledge required.
Take as much or as little time as you like (average time is around 30 minutes).
The deadline for submissions for prizes is July 15th 2023. You can of course submit after this time but your submission will not be entered into the prize draw.
At the end of the challenge, we will post a video and DriveWorks Package (.drivepkg) showing how we solved the challenge, along with some of our favorite submissions.
You can then take those newfound techniques back to your own DriveWorks implementation.
We want to see your most creative solutions!
