Creative Design Challenge (CDC), a premier science and technology competition where engineering and technical skills are put to the test for teams of New Jersey high school students. In recognition of their hard work, winning teams are awarded special category prizes, as well as scholarships to be used exclusively for college expenses.

Panasonic's long-term partner in this program is the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). While the majority of program funding comes from Panasonic, NJIT makes significant contributions to this outreach event. Three NJIT student interns develop the Challenge, while NJIT staff score the written reports, as well as provide judges for the performance and oral presentations of the Challenge. In addition, NJIT lends its prestige as one of the top engineering universities in New Jersey.
