About

42 Hours of Re_creativity is a competition of creative reuse. Student teams bring together skills from their respective disciplines to design, plan, and execute a product that reuses commonly-discarded materials in innovative ways. This year's theme is the University of Michigan Bicentennial and projects should follow that theme. You will need a location to store your materials until the competition begins and enthusiam and creativity in problem-solving.
Before the competition begins, where you store your materials is entirely up to you, though we strongly recommend taking advantage of the resources in the Duderstadt Center. During the competition however, specific locations will be allocated for building.
