Visit our Competitions page for more details.
How much time commitment is required?
We meet twice a week after school (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00-4:30 PM). Members are expected to attend at least 75% of meetings. Additional time may be required as competitions approach or for specific projects. We understand that students have other commitments, and we work to accommodate various schedules.
Are there financial assistance options for membership dues?
Yes, we have financial assistance available for students who need it. We believe that financial constraints should not prevent any interested student from participating. Please speak with our club advisor confidentially to discuss options.
Can I join mid-year?
Yes, we accept new members throughout the school year. While joining at the beginning of the year is ideal, we understand that interests develop at different times. Note that competition registration deadlines may limit participation in certain events if you join later in the year.
