The Real World Design Challenge National event will be held at the National 4-H Center located just outside of Washington, D.C. Governor’s Cup State Challenge Winners are invited by the U.S. Department of Energy to participate in the national event. In 2009, 10 teams will receive an all-expense paid trip to compete for the National Title. During this event, teams will be asked to present, to a diverse panel of judges, their solutions to the National Challenge. In addition to the competition, students will attend presentations by scientists and engineers, tour the National Mall and attend a reception and awards ceremony in downtown Washington, DC.
