Overview of the State Competition Day

Students are not allowed to drive themselves to the States competition. Students who are competing in States must report to Cheney Tech by 6:00am with all necessary tools and equipment. We must depart by 6:15am. 

*Important Note: Students must provide their own transportation to Cheney Tech in the morning and home from Cheney Tech in the evening. There is no school on this day.

Our first stop will be Wilcox Tech. This is where all contestants from our Connecticut tech schools are meeting. Then students will be grouped together by their contest and transported to their specific contest site. Subway sandwiches will be provided for lunch. When all students have finished their contest, the group will transport back to Wilcox Tech to re-group with their sending school.

Around 4:00pm, there will be pizza for dinner and a DJ for entertainment at Wilcox Tech before everyone transports to the awards ceremony. The award ceremony will announce the winners from every contest that took place. Each school is expected to show their school spirit and bring fun celebration gear to hype up the moment! The awards ceremony takes place from 8:00pm-10:00pm. At the end of the ceremony, students will bus back to Cheney Tech to go home. 

A subway 6" sandwich is provided for lunch and unlimited pizza is provided for early dinner at 4:00pm. Since this is a very long day, it is encouraged that students bring drinks and snacks. For example: eat/bring a filling breakfast, a cold packed dinner for the drive back to Cheney after the awards ceremony, and water / other drinks to last the day.
