    Description

    The Tech Challenge is a one-of-a-kind experience where students showcase their engineering ingenuity, and none of it would be possible without the dedication of our volunteers. We have a variety of volunteer roles available, including judges, team check-in assistants, engineering journal judges, and event support. Whether you're looking for a hands-on role or something more behind-the-scenes, there’s something for everyone!

    Volunteer Roles Available:

    • Judges: Evaluate teams, examine devices, and assist in award recommendations.
    • Team Check-in Assistants: Welcome teams, track arrivals, and help direct them.
    • Engineering Journal Judges: Review and assess engineering journals.
    • Event Support: Flexible roles to assist wherever needed throughout the day.
    • And more!

    Why Volunteer?

    • Be a part of an inspiring event where the future of innovation is on display.
    • Network with other volunteers and community members.
    • Enjoy snacks, lunch, and a great atmosphere!
    • Make a difference in the lives of young innovators.

    Training: Volunteers will receive training in their roles on the day of the event, and judges will attend a training session in advance (either in-person or through a webinar).

    Adult volunteers must pass a criminal background check.

    We’d love for you to help spread the word and encourage volunteers from your network to sign up. Every volunteer makes a significant impact, and your support is crucial to the success of this event.
