How will you participate?
You need a valid Access Code to participate in the contests. How you get it depends on how you will participate.
With an Institution (eg. school, library, tutoring centre) Without an Institution (eg. homeschool, distance learning, no school)Get in touch with your Caribou Contact
If you will be participating with your school, then your Caribou Contact (teacher/administrator organizing the contests) is responsible for distributing Access Codes and making sure they are valid.
Your Caribou Contact can tell you whether the school covers the cost of participation, or whether the fees are paid by parents.
If you are not sure whether your school is participating, check the List of Participating Schools. If you prefer to participate in a school setting, or you do not have sufficient internet or internet-connected devices at home, you could request permission to participate at a local institution accepting outside participants.
If your school will not organize the contests, you can also participate at home, without an institution (click on the button above).
