Ways to Volunteer
ONLINE Judging
Teams submit a technical design report and website for evaluation. Judges evaluate submissions with a guided scoring breakdown. The time commitment is about 10 hours per year.
Onsite at Competition
Volunteers support all parts of the competition onsite in including setup and teardown, judging of mission demonstrations, and coordination of teams, volunteers, venues, and vendors. The time commitment can be 1 day, the entire 3 day event, or up to 5 days for setup and teardown.
