Additional benefits
Besides competing for awards worth thousands of dollars for yourselves and your school, you get to do the following:
- Learn how to translate your ideas into productive results.
- Present your solutions to University faculty, as well as business and political leaders.
- Interact with students from high schools across the state.
- Visit a major research university and tour its laboratories.
* What if a home-school team is one of the award recipients?
If the home-schooled students are affiliated with a regional or local support group (not just their parents, but an organization such as a cooperative or consortium), prize money will be awarded to the group so that it may benefit multiple settings or classrooms of students. If the home-school team is not associated with such a group, then the institutional/organizational prize money will not be awarded.
