In house competitions?

The pasta or cardboard bridge competition is a pretty good high school level project that can be done in groups of 2-4. So, you get a designated amount of cardboard or pasta and some hot glue and see if you can build a "bridge" that can support the most weight for the lowest bridge weight.

So the score is: (mass supported)/(mass of bridge)
