Who knew that technical drawings could be so competitive? The IDEA club competes in the Illinois Design Educator's Association regional and state drafting and design contests. These contests include team-based engineering and architectural design competitions, as well as individual board drafting and computer-aided drafting (CAD) competitions. All you need to compete is a desire to learn, practice, and persevere against area competition. The range of contests accommodate every skill level. The regional contest is held through the College of DuPage on a weekday in February/March and the state contest is normally held at Illinois State University.
While the club does not have regular meetings, we do have a few leading up to the regional and state competitions. The purpose of the meetings is to inform students about the IDEA contests, assign students to the appropriate contest, discuss logistics, and to answer questions. It is a low maintenance club in that it should not interfere with other clubs or athletics, so long as the student can participate in the contests.
The cost to students for participation in the club is $10 (contest entry fee). For more information, please click on the website link above or contact Mr. Mark Rose at [email protected]. Also, please visit Neuqua's activity website here.
