Wittaya Subphayuth (also spelled Vittaya, Thai: วิทยสัประยุทธ์, rtgs: Witthayasapprayut, pronounced [wít.tʰa.yá.sàp.pra.yút]) is a Thai educational game show initiated and sponsored by the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST) and produced by Workpoint Entertainment under the vision and direction of IPST. The programme features competitions between upper-secondary school students to create a machine to perform various tasks. It is broadcast weekly on Channel 5, and is currently (as of 2012[update]) in its second season.
Wittaya Subphayuth is produced by Workpoint Entertainment in cooperation with its main sponsor, the Thai Ministry of Education's Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST). The programme's stated objectives include to promote science education and to publicize the scientific potential of Thai students. It was first broadcast on 5 March 2011 on Channel 5, and is currently broadcast weekly on Saturdays at 18:00.
The programme features upper-secondary student representatives from forty-eight schools countrywide, in teams of three, competing in single-elimination tournaments. Each episode consists of a match between two schools, whose teams are assigned to design and build a machine to complete a specific task, sometimes in Rube Goldberg fashion. For example, the problem for the episode broadcast on 27 August 2011 was to determine the weight of a tuk-tuk using a regular market weighing scale.
