Districts:
Our first level of competition is the District conference which occurs at the beginning of January each year. Hosted at the Mansfield Holiday Inn, you will have the opportunity to present your project live in front of a judge and compete against a plethora of schools located near KP. The conference lasts one full day, in which you get to spend with your teammates and friends. The conference provides lunch and a live awards session!
SCDC- States:
If you qualify through District competition, you will then move on to States. Held previously in the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Back Bay, we will now be staying in the Seaport District. The chapter stays for the weekend and competes against all of the qualified teams from the state of Massachusetts. The state action team hosts multiple awards sessions with flashing lights, music, and guest speakers. The state conference has great food and a bunch of fun events so lots of memories are made!
ICDC- International:
ICDC is the third level of competition, in which members compete with people from all across the world. The international level of competition changes location every year and some of these locations include Orlando and Anaheim. This year we will be going to Anaheim! International competition has two different levels, preliminary and final. Everyone competes in preliminaries and from there, a list of finalists is developed. The finalists then compete a second time. ICDC is an amazing opportunity for members to travel, meet new people, form lifeline bonds with other members, and develop themselves professionally.
