Student Teams (Blue Teams)
Teams must be comprised of 4-6 students from the same accredited US based university that all attend in-person. More than one team per school may register but is not guaranteed to be accepted. A max of 100 teams will be accepted for the 2026 year. Registration for both student teams and volunteers will open on Monday, July 20, 2026 at 10:00am ET. It is imperative that student teams register with their most complete team possible as alterations to teams later may not be able to be accommodated.
Our events and programs are open to all students regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, or any other protected class. The College of Information Sciences and Technology is committed to building a community of belonging for all.
