Our
Goal
FirePoint and CCDC Aviation and Missile Center believe that the future of manufacturing will not look the same as it does today. Many companies are already adopting new methods, such as digital twin technology, as a way to increase efficiency and quality of their end products.
This competition looks to expose the bright minds of tomorrow to these concepts early in their careers, so that we can assist in developing the next generation workforce.
