This event will take place Saturday to Sunday, September 5th and 6th, at the DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, WA.

On Saturday morning, the event theme will be revealed during our opening ceremony. Throughout the weekend, participants will work in their teams to create a project that solves the real-world issue presented in the opening ceremony. Additionally, there are numerous workshops hosted by experts scattered across these two days that teach participants various skills like coding and presenting.

On Sunday afternoon, teams will submit their projects online. Judging will start shortly after, where teams showcase their solutions, and judges will select the winners. The awards ceremony will follow later that evening, and winners will receive awards and recognition.

Participants must be in grades 8-12 and will be grouped into teams of 2-5. You can sign up with a team, or you can sign up alone and we will put you in a team. If you are signing up with a team, please have only one team member fill out the form. Participating in this event is a large commitment of time and effort, so please make sure your schedule is free during the event: make sure that you are able to commit to this event before registration.

Prizes are awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams for each division. The money is split across the whole team. Prizes are not yet finalized. Details will be released soon.

Registration will close on the final deadline, but might also close early if max capacity is reached. The schedule is subject to change, and the final event schedule will be sent out via email.

We hope you enjoy!
