Lt. Governor Jari Askins announces Oklahoma to
participate in
Real
World Design Challenge
The Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) is an annual event that
provides high school students, grades 9 – 12, the opportunity to
work on real world engineering challenges in a team environment.
Each year, student teams will be asked to address a challenge that
confronts one of our nation’s leading industries. Students will
utilize professional quality computer-aided design software to
develop their solutions and will also generate presentations that
convincingly demonstrate the value of their solutions. The RWDC
provides students with opportunities to apply the lessons of the
classroom to the technical problems that are being faced in the
workplace.
Contact Jim Bullington, State Coordinator, for more information at
jbull@okcareertech.org
or 405-743-5424
