Tech Challenge:

Schedule

 

Tech Challenge Registration Form

Have you ever dreamed of being the shining star by revealing your vast laboratory animal research knowledge in front of and to the amazement of your peers?  Or, more likely, have you ever wanted to be able to point your finger at a coworker and say, “I can’t believe you didn’t know that!”?

Then the QUAD Tech Challenge is for you!

  Test your knowledge and your game strategies!  Prepare to have some fun and lots of laughs!

  We are in search of 6 teams, 3-6 people each, to participate in the 2010 QUAD Tech Challenge.  This game follows the same format as Jeopardy, but with the benefit of AALAS questions!  There will be three rounds, including jeopardy, double jeopardy and the always exciting…..final jeopardy (and of course - hidden daily doubles!)  The teams can be made up of any level technicians or animal care personnel.  (No veterinarians or facility managers please, to keep things fair.) Teams can also be comprised of people from more than 1 facility so whether you are from a small biotech, medium size academic facility or large pharmaceutical company - all can play!

  Teams will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.  The deadline for registering teams is May 1st.  There is only room for 6 teams, so get your registration in early to Robert Quinn (quinnr@upstate.edu).  See below for registration form and additional information.
