Any competition that mentions an “annual design challenge” or “annual theme” has details here. The official rules and rubrics for each competition will be available to you once your chapter affiliates. Any number of students/teams from a single chapter are welcome to compete, but the number of students/teams that qualify for nationals will be determined by the Middle School Competitive Event Eligibility Chart.

​

In order to avoid scheduling conflicts, students are highly encouraged to participate in only one competition per group with a maximum of four competitions. If students are competing in Tech Bowl, they need to pick their other competitions very carefully as they will have to find time within their day.

​

In the table below, the number in parentheses denotes the number of students needed to compete in that event. Any events with a (1) next to them are individual events, so the student competing will not have teammates.
