from October 13, 2020 to November 20, 2020

Scheduled

Registration for the ROADS on Asteroids challenge is open to teams of students in grades 3–12 across the U.S. and territories.

When

Registration opens Tuesday, October 13, 2020.
Priority registration — To be considered for equipment support, register by Friday, November 20, 2020.
Final registration deadline — Wednesday, December 9, 2020.

Who

Participation is open to all students in grades 3–12 across the U.S. and territories.
Registration for a team should be completed by an adult — usually a teacher or educator, a team member’s parent/guardian, or another adult community member serving as a mentor. This adult will be responsible for passing along all communication from NESSP during the Freestyle challenge, so make sure you have reliable ways of keeping in touch with all of the team’s members!
