Inspired by 19th century industrial steam-powered machinery, "Steampunk" is a retro-futuristic design movement seen in everything from fashion, to technology, to pop culture. In Steampunk'd, the contestants (also known as "Makers") work in teams and compete in a series of pressure-filled challenges designed to test their unique abilities to transform ordinary objects and fashion into creative masterpieces. Each week, one of the 10 Makers will be eliminated and the last one standing will take home the $100,000 grand prize.
