Important Registration Instructions:
Some challenges have enrollment limits. Spaces in each challenge will be alotted to the first teams from different schools who complete all of the registration requirements (for all 4 students) in full.
If you have not yet selected your team members, grades 7&8 teachers can submit the online form indicating the challenge name, school, D&T Centre and teacher's name. A spot will be temporarily reserved for your school in the challenge, but full registration information must be completed for each student on the team as soon as possible to keep this spot.
Schools may register more than one team per challenge, provided that there are enough spaces. The first teams registered FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS will be awarded spaces. Extra spots in each challenge will be awarded to the team(s) who complete and submit the registration requirements first. Extra teams will be put on a wait list and informed of their status once registration closes.
