Question 1

How many students can be on a Reno Tech Challenge team? Do I need an adult advisor?

Accepted Answer

Your team must have two to four students plus at least one adult adviser. Every team member must be in Grades 4-12 somewhere — not necessarily in your class or school. Your adult adviser doesn’t need to be an engineer. After all, this is your team’s project and you’re in charge.

Question 2

Can participants on the same team attend different schools?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can get together with anyone to create a team of 2 to 4 students. The only rule is that every participant must be in Grades 4-12 somewhere — not necessarily in your class or school.

Question 3

What are the three grade divisions for the Reno Tech Challenge?

Accepted Answer

There are three grade divisions in the Reno Tech Challenge: Grades 4-6, Grades 7-8, and Grades 9-12. Each division has a different set of goals at the Showcase as listed on Page 5 of the Rules. The highest grade level in your team determines at which grade division your team will compete for prizes.

Question 4

I am a sixth-grader and want to be on the same team as my ninth-grade sibling/friend. Is that OK?

Accepted Answer

Yes, teams can have members from different grade levels. However, you will compete at the level of the team’s highest grade level. For instance, even though you are in sixth grade, your team will compete in the high school (grades 9-12) division.
