How To Apply As A Team, Technology Challenge 2010
Click on the link above to download the team application form. Please note the deadlines and requirements for entering your school's team in the Louisiana High School Technology Challenge. Basic Requirements The principal of a Louisiana high school designates a Team Coach to select a team of up to 15 students by the designated deadline. The Team Coach must be a full-time administrator, teacher, or staff member of the school. The Team Coach completes the team application form and mails it, postmarked no later than the deadline. Note: It is possible to register your team by the postmarked deadline and provide the names of students later by email. This is explained on the application form. The Team Coach writes a check for a non-refundable administrative processing fee of $25 per team and $5 per participating student; a maximum of 15 students may be on a team. Only one team may represent a high school. Examples: a team with 7 students would pay $25 + $35 = $60. A team with 11 students would pay $25 + $55 = $80. A team with 15 students would pay $25 + $75 = $100. The application fee is paid by check to the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) to partially cover the costs of administration. The check should be made out to: "ULM Louisiana High School Technology Challenge"
The Team Coach reserves a school computer lab with Internet access for the day of the competition and ensures that the participating registered students are excused from classes, just as they would be if they were to participate in a field trip. For the sake of fairness, the online Technology Challenge has a strict time limit. The Technology Challenge is scheduled during the morning of the day of the challenge. Competition files may be accessed by 8:00 AM and the Technology Challenge must be completed by 11:59 AM. There is a stiff penalty for late submissions; so, be sure to electronically "upload" your team's files as a single Zip file well before the deadline. Complete directions for uploading your team's files as a Zip file will be provided. Summary One characteristic of previous winners of the Technology Challenge was great teamwork. Hopefully, your team will experience this as well.
