Registration for the 2011-2012 Real World Design Challenge is now open! <\/p>\n
This is an annual competition that gives high school students, grades 9-12, the opportunity to work on real world engineering challenges in a team environment. <\/p>\n
Teams of three to seven high school students will be asked to address a challenge that confronts the nation\u2019s leading industries. Students will use professional engineering software to develop their solutions and will also generate presentations that convincingly demonstrate the value of their solutions. <\/p>\n
Every teacher or team that participates in the RWDC gets $1 million in professional engineering software along with training, curriculum materials, and access to mentors. <\/p>\n
Students first compete in a state level Governors Cup. The team with the best design in each state gets an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the national finals. <\/p>\n
CNMI private and public school teachers\/coaches\/school teams are scheduled to meet today, Nov. 10, 2011, to discuss the CNMI\u2019s participation in this competition. The meeting is from 3pm to 4:30pm, at the Office of Instructional Services, second floor of the CNMI PSS Central Office (Bwoghos Road, Chalan Kanoa). <\/p>\n
