Philadelphia Classic 2008

The date for this year's contest has been set as Saturday, February 9th, 2008. The contest will be held at the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania. All high schools that can provide transportation to Penn are invited; in years past the contest has drawn crowds from Philadelphia and as far as Washington DC and NYC.

Each school can bring a team of 4 high school students and one teacher/sponsor. The registration fee is $25 - this includes lunch and t-shirts for the participants. Trophies and prizes will be awarded to the winning teams. (If space/time permits, schools wishing to bring more than one team may be allowed to bring others).

The event is tentatively scheduled for schools to arrive between 9am and 10am, and for the contest to be complete by 4:30 or 5pm. A more detailed schedule will be available as the date approaches.

To register, please send an email to pclassic@gmail.com with the school's name, student names and t-shirt sizes, and teacher/sponsor contact information. Invitations will be sent to past attendees as well as Philadelphia-area high schools, but all schools are welcome to register and attend, and we ask that you share information about the contest with other possibly interested schools.
