Important places to check for information and updates

REA will routinely post updates to this website and send important information through the REA Supportal to registered teachers. Each participating school should have a REA Supportal account, usually in the supervising teacher's name. When information is sent out to schools, it will be sent to the email account of that teacher. Students should check this website regularly or check with their teacher to ensure they are up to date with the latest competition information.

The REA Supportal contains important documentation, databases and information for the competition. Tutorials, forms and support is available through the REA Supportal.

TechTorq is an initiative of REA for Technology Teachers and Students, designed to assist collaboration and cooperation amongst educators. There is a dedicated F1 in Schools area with lots of examples of projects and resources. The forum is a great place to find help for the technologies used in the challenge or to find other schools to work with on projects.
