What does this program mean to your students and school?
Our school is proud to be part of the SADC program. This program will help my students to understand how the technologies they learn at school can be applied to real life applications.

The SADC program allows students to realize that the skills they are learning are not a matter of chance but a need. We need students who are interested in engineering and who will produce products to help our future world.

This program gives them also the team spirit and sense of responsibility.

We saw the program as very beneficial in the future development of these students.

As a teacher, I'm happy to be a part of this.

This unique program provides students with an assignment from a mock corporation to research, design, test, and build electric gear driven toy cars. Working in design teams of four, students will be involved in writing proposals, drawing sketches, and working with models to develop a plan to meet a specific set of design requirements based on their market research. Each design team, with guidance from Honeywell Volunteers, will build its own vehicle.

During the last week of the program, each class will be responsible for selecting the winning vehicle for the class based on set criteria. The winning car from each class will be entered into a global contest with the other schools. The top three winning vehicles will be selected by Honeywell employees through an online survey.
And the results are in!
