Sierrathon 2026

Put your PCB skills to the test!

Sierrathon is not your average design competition, it’s a high-energy, fast-paced challenge where engineering students tackle real-world PCB design problems. Over the course of one day, teams will simulate the design process, earning points for accuracy, efficiency, and innovation. The team with the highest score takes home the Sierrathon Champion title!
