Contests & Sponsorships

Employers are looking to hire designers who can think creatively, collaborate easily, solve problems fast, and respond quickly to changes.
By competing in design contests, your students not only can sharpen these skills, but also can prepare for a competitive workplace. In addition, SolidWorks® software can help your student team with sponsorships and an array of resources, including curriculum, parts, design tools, and more.
