Are you ready? Have you finished your tabletop model? Have you practiced your presentation?
Registration is from 3:00P-6:00P on Friday, January 22, 2010 at the Northwest Career and Technical Academy (driving directions, map of the school grounds) in the banquet hall. Because there is a good chance of rain, be sure to cover your city with a tarp to keep it from getting soaked on your way into the building. There is a drop off area in the front of the school (towards Tropical Pkwy.) from there you can bring the model inside using the southern doors.
Competition Check-in Checklist [Updated 1/19 3:15P - added Honor Statement and T-Shirt info]
