Freiwilliger
The Discovery Academy Tiger Tech Throwdown depends on the support of volunteers to create a fun, organized, and memorable experience for our students.
Volunteer opportunities may include field reset, team check-in, queuing, scoring assistance, concessions, judging, and other event-day support. Robotics experience is not required for many roles, and instructions will be provided.
Parents, school staff, older students, and community members are encouraged to help. By working together, we can celebrate our students’ creativity, teamwork, and hard work while making the inaugural Tiger Tech Throwdown a great event!
