Six Carl Sandburg High School Technology and Engineering students competed and medaled in the Illinois Design Educators Association (IDEA) Regional Computer Aided Design (CAD) competition held recently at Moraine Valley Community College. 

The competition involved students from across the region in several divisions, including Introductory CAD, Engineering, 3D Modeling, Mechanical, and Architectural CAD.
