Tournaments

Technology Tournament

Ages 11-16

• Rotary Technology Tournaments are a challenging and enjoyable way for young people to enrich their STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)

• The teams of pupils, typically in groups of four, have to solve an interactive technology-based task and are required to design, develop and build a solution with the materials supplied

• Tournaments culminates in the testing session when teams demonstrate their best solution to the task and can be observe the efforts of competing teams

• There are three age levels for the members – Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced. All costs are paid by the organizing Rotary Clubs and there is no entry cost to school teams other than transport to and from the event

• As STEM subjects continue to be a key part of the school curriculum, Rotary Technology Tournaments support not only academic learning, but teach skills such as teamwork, communication and timekeeping

Rotary Junior Technology Tournament

Ages 8-11

• Designed specifically for 8-11-year-olds in partnership with The Rochester Bridge Trust

• Hosting a Junior Technology Tournament would always work around the education timetables of Primary and Junior Schools and can take place across a whole day, two half days or four “twilight” sessions of around one hour each
