2010's KKSD!

THANK YOU!
You all made the 4th Annual Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby a huge Success! There were many people involved, sponsors, volunteers, artists, teams, judges, East Kensington Neighbors Association, and staff at NKCDC worked together to make an awesome day and we appreciate all their help! Please see the winners and photos of all the teams below.

Thanks to Charles Carmalt, Philadelphia's Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, for being our special celebrity Judge. And a big thanks to Mayor Nutter for coming and helping with our award ceremony! It was a great day in Kensington!

Please take a minute to give us some feedback so we can improve the event for next year. Click here for the Survey

We had 29 teams register with 2 no-shows, and 2  un-official additions
and over 200 people riding. Judging gets harder and harder every year,
there are so many good entries and all the teams put a lot of work into
their entries. Thank you again to everyone who helped make this event
possible, volunteers, sponsors, artists, and spectators! Everyone that
competes in the Kinetic Sculpture Derby is a winner in my book, but the
following teams won awards-
