Participation Checklist -- Download Word version

Note: Some of these events have limited time windows and the numbers of entrants may be limited. Check back here for the latest rules of each event. When they are finalized, a symbol will be placed next to the name.

Competitions will result in students earning ribbons or other prizes.

Interactive Activities will result in students getting their participation sheets stamped upon completion of the activity. The Participation Checklist is a sample that could be used by teachers. A Word version is linked on the web page so you can download a copy that can be edited.

The three activities labeled ^Math have been designed in response to a need to have more math-based activities for students to pursue.

The Cardboard Boat Race has registration deadline and a materials fee, the only item in this list that has such a requirement.
