Elementary Competitions

Elementary Challenges

The elementary technology challenges are offered in conjunction with the Skills Ontario Competition, Skills Ontario’s cornerstone event. The elementary technology challenges encourage teamwork and friendly competition between Grades 4-8 HDSB students. 

Why Compete?

 

In addition to promoting the technology programs offered in your schools, these challenges allow the competing students to apply their knowledge of math, science and technology in a fun way, while providing them the opportunity to make the connection between what they are learning in school and possible careers in skilled trades and technologies. When competing students return from the competition, their enthusiasm for the trades and technologies is contagious.

Winners of Halton Skills will move onto compete at the Skills Ontario Competition.
