The sky’s the limit for the creators, as they battle it out across six challenges that will require them to use their innovation, imagination and skill. Challenges range from tasking the creators to reduce their city’s traffic by building an effective bike network, to saving the city from a Meteor falling from space…all of which must be completed within the 30 minute time limit allocated!
