Volunteer

We are looking for professors and industry professionals to volunteer at our events. You can help us by being a judge at our Design Reviews and/or Final Competition.

Please contact us at [email protected]

We require each high school team to give a presentation to a panel of professors and industry professionals during the first few weeks of the competition season. The purpose of the reviews is to encourage high school students to present their ideas and to receive feedback on their design.

At Final Competition, teams can earn awards for superior mechanical, electrical, and software robot design. We invite professors and industry professionals to judge these designs and decide on an award winner in each category.
