In October 2008, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), our educational partner, facilitated several Teachers Workshops that were held in various locations throughout New Jersey. These workshops offered teachers the opportunity to:
- Learn about the overall Challenge and competition rules
- Learn how to format your engineering logbook and keep better records
- Learn about engineering design processes
- Learn the field of moving devices, such as robotics
- Better understand technical considerations for designing, fabricating, building and testing your team’s device
- And much more!
