Doolittle Institute STEM Outreach

Unfortunately, the practice event this weekend has been canceled due to the incoming storm. With the scheduling of facilities, personnel, and volunteers, we will not be able to host an Okaloosa Practice event this season. I know this puts teams at a disadvantage, but these circumstances are beyond our control. Please note that we will be scheduling a judging call with coaches and our judge advisors to answer any questions in the coming weeks, as well as a referee call. We thank you for your understanding with this decision, as it is not an easy one to make.

We highly encourage teams to reach out to each other and host an opposing team for a fun learning experience as you prepare for the upcoming Qualifier in December.
