Section 0 - Exploratory
These events are designed for high school students who are beginners to explore the different areas of the UTE-Projects. While students who place in the top five in each event will earn awards, the points do not count towards school awards.
Unique to Texas Projects (UTE-Projects) are events that are unique to the state of Texas and can be competed at the regional and state level.
Projects can be completed either individually or as a team. When registering the project for the Regional Competition, the project will be registered to one student of a team.
Regions may enter up to 7 projects for each UTE-Project event.
If students only have events in this category, they may register as a virtual competitor and attendance is not required.
Students are responsible for reviewing and following the general rules and guidelines established in the:
- General Rules and Regulations
- Copyright Policy
- Student Uniqueness of Work Policy
- Required Documentation
These rules and requirements may be modified at the regional levels to accommodate for space and time constraints, check with your region for more details.
Important: Ignorance of the rules and/or misunderstanding of the rules as run at the state conference is not an excuse for a protest or additional consideration.
