Bonny Kellermann ’72 and Bob Ferrara ’67 Tech Challenge Games
The 2025 Tech Challenge Games
On Campus Tech Challenge Games: May 31st 1:30-3:15 PM ET
Location: Steinbrenner Stadium
The Tech Challenge Games are the most interesting and eclectic collection of MIT-inspired games you will ever encounter. Founded by alumni for alumni, the Games have become an integral and exciting part of reunion weekend.
5th-50th Reunion classes are invited to assemble a team which may consist of classmates, spouses, friends, and kids. Each team participates in a series of MIT-styled games that are fun and challenging for the whole family. Don't worry about being too competitive; these games are all about fun.
The Tech Challenge Games are typically played outdoors. However, if it rains, we will move indoors. Here is a photo of that in 2023:
