March 25, 2020 |
The Technology Challenge Takes Place Wednesday Morning, March 25, 2020 Between 8:00 AM And 11:59 AM
The Technology
Challenge takes
place online during the morning. Students in your
high school team should be excused to use your
school's computer lab, or suitable location, during the morning
hours of this day.
- Your team can start the Technology Challenge at 8:00 AM.
- The strict deadline for complete submission of all 4 files is
11:59 AM. There is a
very stiff penalty for late submission of any files. We
use the time stamp of your last COMPLETED submission; every
late minute is a 1 point deduction from the
overall team score.
- Incomplete
team submissions, for any reason, after 12:29 PM will NOT be judged.
Optionally,
it's highly recommended that the team have a pizza party
immediately following the competition. Most participating high schools
do offer this for their students. |
