On Saturday April 27, 2019 five high school teams assembled at Thomas Nelson Community College to participate in the first annual Tech Ramp Competition. HR TECH RAMP was the product of a regional collaboration between New Horizons Governor’s School for Science and Technology in Hampton, and the Hampton Roads Innovation Collaborative (HRIC).

HR TECH RAMP is an engineering contest for regional high school students who will identify a business problem to be solved by a fabricated device, and through CAD, Mod Sim and hardware prototyping, demonstrate the solution. Business problems can be from any industry sector: ship building, drones (air, land, sea), logistics, maritime, tourism, any hardware- or materials- based business.
