Help & Support

If you want to take part but don't really know where to start, don't worry. Many others will be in the same position. Each activity can be done independently or as a team. If you want to join a team but don't know of any, the best thing to do is register your interest on the respective activity page and we will then try to place you in a team with a mix of new and current students. This is a great way to meet new people! If you already have a team or want to try the challenges out on your own then you don't need to worry about this bit; but still create a cool Team name (even if you are on your own)! Remember, if you do try and complete the challenges individually then they may take a little longer!

We will get straight back to you! No question is off limits so feel free to ask anything!
