Student Conduct:
Students are expected to conduct themselves, both in person and online, in a manner that brings credit to themselves, their schools, and the affiliates they represent. Chaperones are responsible for the behavior of the students in their charge.
There is one "hang out" room in each hallway. Students, parents, and teachers are asked not to congregate in the hallways as the areas must be kept quiet for the judging process. Please wait in the hang out room or in the main lobby.
Computer Access
For students doing documentaries and websites: A computer and Promethean Board are available in all judging locations. There is no need to bring your own computer or projection device. However, please ensure that your project is accessible with the appropriate sharing settings.
