First

Then

Be sure to read the Team Guide and the rules. These will give you all the details on the challenge.

Next

You need to review the online info clinic mini-course, come to a virtual Q&A session if you have any other questions and join a team workshop. These are great opportunities to learn more and get some extra tips.  All participant events are free and attendance is optional. 

After you have some prototypes or partial ideas built you can attend some test trials and get feedback from judges.  While not required, we have found that teams who attend test trials perform better at the showcase.
