The deadline to register is this Friday, Nov. 18, midnight, local time.
It is open to all public and private schools, all teachers or community members who’d like to coach a team, and any 9-12th grade student in the CNMI.
Every CNMI team that participates in the challenge gets professional engineering software along with training, curriculum materials, and access to mentors.
Teams of 3-7 high school students use these resources to solve an engineering challenge that is currently faced by industry.
The team with the best design from CNMI, Guam & American Samoa gets an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete against other states in the national finals in April.
The Real World Design Challenge is an annual competition that provides high school students, grades 9-12, the opportunity to work on real world engineering challenges in a team environment. Student teams will be asked to address a challenge that confronts our nation’s leading industries.
Students will utilize professional engineering software to develop their solutions and will also generate presentations that convincingly demonstrate the value of their solutions.
The challenge provides students with opportunities to apply the lessons of the classroom to the technical problems that are being faced in the workplace.
