General Info

I appreciate your interest in the Memphis University School's Middle School Fall Challenge. Since this event occurs on Nov 1, the event will follow a theme of Dia de los Robos modeled after Dia de los Muertos. Please embrace the theme!

Look for other details including the campus map under Documents or Image Gallery closer to the event date. 

All team members and adults must have the RECF waiver completed. Instructions avialable at this link. https://kb.roboticseducation.org/hc/en-us/articles/7119161700759-Participant-Release-Form

Volunteers: Each team should have 1 volunteer signed up by October 5, 2025, unless other arrangements are made with the EP.  All teams without a volunteer after two weeks of registration will be moved to the waitlist and may be added back in, if there is still room on the roster.

Payment is due two weeks after a team is registered or immediately if after October 5, 2025, unless other arrangements are made with the EP.  All teams not paid after two weeks of registration will be moved to the waitlist and may be added back in, if there is still room on the roster. If your registration payment process takes longer than two week, clear communication with the event partner will keep teams from being moved to the Waitlist.
