Climate Action: Designing for Environmental Sustainability.
The National Engineering Design Challenge (NEDC)
What is NEDC?
The National Engineering Design Competition (NEDC) is a nationwide competition between MESA States. Two teams from each state, one high school and one middle school, will advance to the NEDC.
For nationals, teams must use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) in a community-centered capacity for their project.
2025 Nationals will be held in San Diego, CA.
June 23rd - 26th
