NFPA Fluid Power Action Challenge

The Action Challenge serves as the entry point for our Fast Track initiative and we need your help to get an event started in your community. Teams of middle school students design and build a fluid power mechanism and compete against their peers. NFPA members who serve as sponsors and judges create connections and elevate their company visibility among local schools and families. Your sponsorship helps provide the kits, materials, event supplies, meals, awards, and other resources needed to give students an engaging, hands-on experience with our technology.
