Volunteers Needed!
The 2024-25 MESA USA National Engineering Design Competition (NEDC) theme is: Designing for Equity Locally to Affect Sustainability Globally. For this project, student teams will identify an individual or group (aka, a user) who experiences some type of inequity. Teams will employ human-centered design practices to engineer a solution. Teams must use a coding component as the main component of their design.
Each competing team must consist of 2-4 students who are active members of a MESA program affiliated with the MESA USA national organization. Solutions and recommendation(s) for next steps will be presented at the MESA USA National Engineering Design Competition. The first-place middle and high school teams from State events will participate in the National Competition. This National Competition event will occur in June 2025 in California.
