SPECIAL NOTICE
This year we're adding a team project to the SIT conference! This
project will involve a team from your school (there are a limited
number of school spaces available) building a hovercraft! The team
will learn about hovercraft technology and build one in hands-on
sessions during the conference; the finished hovercraft will go back
to your school for use in your science classes, projects, etc.
