MIXCRETE: Concrete Mix Design
“Shaken, but not stirred” goes the age old adage..
It’s simple. We ask you to make a concoction, one of specific ‘flavors’ of cement, sand, grit et al. You make them for us. And brownie points for making a rough and tough one which would stand through the sands of time. Don’t limit your mixing skills to martinis and cocktails. Come, expand your horizon.
Note: The first twenty teams to apply have been given a slot. Those teams who don't get a message from us, should assume that they couldn't be allotted a time slot.
