Tech Challenge Sponsorship Opportunities

The Tech Challenge program depends upon sponsorship funding to reach and engage the 1,000+ students that participate each year. Without support from sponsors such as Cadence Design Systems, Brocade and a partial endowment from Intel Corporation the Tech Challenge program would not exist. The Tech relies upon corporations and foundations to provide the remaining support that allows the Tech Challenge to continually reach more youth in more communities.

Sponsorship provides a major opportunity to align with the Tech Challenge and The Tech Museum. Sponsorship links your organization to the community by demonstrating good corporate citizenship and enhancing brand perception and awareness. It is also a vehicle through which employees can become involved by volunteering the day of the event, by mentoring participating teams, or by helping to spread the word in local schools and communities.
