Design Squad is a unique reality series that is geared towards teenagers. The show has two teams that are competing for a $10,000 Intel college scholarship. The groups have to create an engineered machine, so this is appealing to kids that have an interest in science or engineering. Each season's episode consists of a topic and rules to create a machine to cater to its purpose. Here are a few examples of the episodes' topics. One episode has a professional race car builder challenge the teams to take kiddie toys and convert them to motorized dragsters. Another episode challenges them to use remote-controlled cameras to cover every possible angel during a basketball game.
