Under the theme of “The Youth Salutes the Party, Hi-Tech Serves the Country”, the competition has attracted more than 10, 000 student science and technology innovation teams from 70 colleges and universities in Beijing. After a primary, only 2, 554 teams were selected to the municipal competition.

The “Challenge Cup” Students Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition of Capital Colleges and Universities takes place every two years and is co-sponsored by Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, Beijing Municipal Education Commission, Beijing Science and Technology Commission, Beijing Association for Science and Technology, Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park Management Committee, Beijing Youth Federation and Beijing Student Federation. As an extracurricular academic science and technology activity for college students, it features a clear orientation, serves as a model, and enjoys high public participation. The "Challenge Cup" competition has been playing a positive role in encouraging more college students to participate in the practice of academic science and technology, discovering and cultivating innovative talents, upgrading the quality education in colleges and universities, and has intensively demonstrated what has been achieved in higher education. Thus, it is acclaimed as the Olympic of academic science and technology for Chinese college students. The national final of the 17th “Challenge Cup” Students Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition of Capital Colleges and Universities will be held at Sichuan University later this year. Teams of BUCEA will keep up the momentum to create new brilliance, bring the Challenge Cup spirit into full play in the field, and demonstrate the elegant demeanor of BUCEA students.
