Academic Triathlon 

Welcome to the 2025- 2026 Academic Triathlon Season! 

Academic Triathlon is a creative thinking skills competition that teaches and rewards creative and divergent thinking processes, cooperative brainstorming, general intellect, leadership and a flare for the dramatic-all while providing an entertaining format.  Five-person teams need to display good sportsmanship and teamwork to generate competition worthy end products of their creativity and positive risk-taking.

Teams compete once a month in three unique team events:

1. P.A.R.T.Y.-in-a-Box: Teams create a skit that relates to an open-ended question. 

2. Mind Sprints: Three short-term problems challenge teams verbally, logically, and spatially.

3. Face-Off: Oral and written questions stress knowledge and reasoning in various subject areas.
