In addition to promoting the technology programs offered in our school, these challenges allow the competing students to apply their knowledge of math, science and technology in a fun way, while providing them the opportunity to make the connection between what they are learning in school and possible careers in skilled trades and technologies. When competing students return from the competition, their enthusiasm for the trades and technologies is contagious.

These are some of the competitions that were hosted at the regional level in Halton. Please note that student interest drives the availability of these competitions, so it's crucial to reach out early to express interest in competing!
