What Is the Southern California Gingerbread Challenge?

Organized by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC), the SoCal Gingerbread Challenge is an annual holiday tradition encouraging engineering professionals across Southern California to get creative and construct elaborate but structurally sound buildings from gingerbread, candy, and icing. After an intense build night, the gingerbread creations are put on public display until January 05, 2025 as part of Discovery Cube's winter exhibit based around gingerbread science, during which the public is invited to vote for their favorites.
