Get school name recognition!

Give your students a chance to show what they’ve learned!

Thousands of students will graduate and apply for the same jobs, but the ones who get the best jobs have one thing in common: experience outside the classroom. Help set your students apart from everyone else by giving them the chance to participate in this year’s Avnet Tech Games.

First-place team members for eight of the nine games will each win a $1,000 scholarship. The winning team for the Invent a Technical Product game will present to the Arizona Business Accelerator to possibly take their product to market.
