Technology Tournament
Run every year, this is one of our major events for schools.
What is a Rotary Technology Tournament?
Rotary Technology Tournaments are a challenging and enjoyable way for young people to enrich their STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).
The young people, typically in teams 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 culminate in the testing session when teams demonstrate their best solution to the task and can observe the efforts of competing teams.
Stewards are on hand to guide the teams throughout and offer a helping hand where necessary to ensure everyone gets the most from the experience. The tournament is judged by Rotary members and guests with backgrounds in engineering, technology and design.
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.
In Whitby the Technology Tournament is held in Whitby Spa Pavilion and organised by the Rotary Clubs of Whitby Endeavour and Whitby & District.
