Posted on Feb 18 2014
The Real World Design Challenge team registration deadline is this month! Register today.
Any public or private high school student in the CNMI is eligible to compete. Registration is easy. Coaches register a team of 3-7 high school students. Coaches need not be high school teachers. This year’s challenge is to design an unmanned aircraft system and to develop a business plan based on a mission challenge scenario. It will be focused on the design and implementation of a UAS to support precision agriculture, specifically the monitoring and assessment of crop conditions to achieve increased yield.
The teams will employ a systems engineering design and integration approach to identify, compare, analyze, demonstrate, and defend the most appropriate component combinations, subsystem designs, operational methods, and business case to support the challenge scenario. One million dollars worth of software and support is given for free to each team. National winners will each receive $50,000 scholarships.
