Winners of 2008 FGD Competition

Competitions provide a proving ground for students to apply their skills and knowledge. Just as auto makers use the commercial race track to test and apply new technologies to production cars, schools now have the opportunity to let students put their efforts into motion outside the traditional school-only framework, allowing them to fine tune their designs in (friendly) competition with their peers around the world.
