Advisor Training

Orientation and Training for New Advisors

The Tech offers training to prepare team advisors and judges for Tech Challenge. It doesn't take much time, it's fun, and you'll meet other great people committed to helping Bay Area kids become the scientists and innovators of tomorrow!

ADVISORS: Attend orientation sessions and training to learn how to facilitate a design process with students, learn from past advisors, and gain an understanding for how you can plan to work with your students.

JUDGES: Learn more about the Challenge and how each team's solution should be evaluated. You do NOT have to be an engineer or scientist to be a judge!
