Team Entries Each high school registers its team. Here are the deadlines for the 2010 competition. This competition recognizes and acknowledges students interested in demonstrating their creative use of technology and teamwork skills. As Louisiana prepares for a brighter future, our schools need to encourage students to apply skills that will help them to productively contribute in a modern and progressive society through teamwork. The main purpose of this competition is to demonstrate how our students can use technology creatively in a team for life-long learning.
What Is The High School Technology Challenge? The Technology Challenge is an annual state-wide competition among high school students in Louisiana. Every high school in Louisiana can enter a single team composed of up to 15 students under the guidance of a designated Team Coach. On the morning of the competition, during regular school hours, your team meets at a reserved computer lab at your high school. All you need is Internet-accessible computers to complete the challenging tasks. This event is a virtual field trip, without the costs of travel. A highly-qualified team of approximately 25 judges at the University of Louisiana at Monroe will examine and evaluate the work of the teams. Results of the competition will be announced on this website on the following day. Basic Requirements Here are the requirements for entering a school team to enter the online competition: 1. The high school principal designates a Team Coach. 2. The Team Coach selects a team of up to 15 students. 3. A completed team application is mailed and postmarked by the application deadline. 4. Your school's computers should have software that can read and write Word, Powerpoint, and Excel files. You should be able to do minor image editing, using any type of software. Any type of computer may be used. 5. Your team should be ready to complete a number of challenging and creative tasks.
