However we invite your school, academy or college to participate in the 14th Leeds Rotary Technology Tournament (2020).

The event is overseen and sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Leeds, District 1040: these are Aireborough, Calverley, Headingley, Leeds White Rose, Leeds, Leeds Elmete and Roundhay, as well as The University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University and West Yorkshire Society of Architects. Local councillors also sponsor the event.

  
 

As this is a one day event bringing together teams of 4 students from secondary schools and colleges across the Leeds Region of Rotary District 1040. They are set a technology problem to solve and all is completed in one school day.  This provides opportunities for team building and practising communication skills, as well as problem solving.

Awards are be presented to the winners to display in their school and certificates for all taking part
These can be used for the CREST Discovery award providing the school has registered for the award with the British Science Association

Teams: 

      Pupils from Years 7, 8 & 9 will tackle the Foundation Task

      Pupils from Years 10 & 11 will tackle the Intermediate Task

      Pupils from Years 12 & 13 will tackle the Advanced Task


Schools can submit 3 teams of 4 pupils, one at each level, but if teams for one or two levels only, can be submitted then normally there is a maximum of three teams in total. Teams with less than four members need to be agreed in advance  


Note:Lunch Students should bring their own packed lunch. Water will be provided


Please confirm your school's interest and think about which students you might like to send.  You might like to consider selecting students who would particularly benefit from the opportunity to take part, rather than those with a particular aptitude for technology.
