ATDF provides many benefits :
For students:
- A challenging, personally rewarding educational experience, the likes of which few high school students will ever accomplish - this will distinguish you from your peers when applying to college. Also, this is a great way to gain an inside look at the nature of engineering work and careers.
- ATDF project work may count for course credit or community service credit depending upon your teacher's or high school's policy.
- May apply for an ATDF Scholarship if attending UMass Lowell for engineering ($2,000 X 4 yrs).
For teachers:
- Show students the applications of math, physics and technology, so they realize the relevance of their academics & have them learn real-world skills.
- Get positive media coverage for your program and your school. Earn up to $1,000 and 30 PDPs - and there is no cost for project materials.
