Who can participate?

• Only students enrolled in a secondary education program in grades 9th to 12th can participate. As an exception, people on gap years taken before college enrollment can also partake in the competition.

​

Do we participate in teams?

• Students must compete in teams of 3 to 5 people. It’s up to the interested students to set up their own teams, but if necessary, the BEES team will pair participants with insufficient teammates so that they can have complete teams and compete.

​

Is it free?*

• No. For each team member, a $4 (four dollars) fee must be paid. Consequently, teams of three have to pay $12 (twelve dollars), teams of four have to pay $16 (sixteen dollars), and teams of five have to pay $20 (twenty dollars). If you feel you're unable to pay the fee, we'll offer a limited number of fee waivers that you can apply for.

​

How is the competition like?

• It is divided into two phases: qualifiers and finals. For the qualifiers, the students will have one month to write and send us a report on how they aim to solve one of the four problems we propose. Then, the finalists will have to prepare a presentation of another problem (related to the first four from before) and present it to a panel of judges. 

​

When will it happen? 

• The competition will happen in the second semester of 2021. Pre-Registrations will start in May, official registrations will open in July, and the qualifiers will begin in August.
