For the 2020 Virtual Texas Thespian State Festival, the Tech Team Challenge will be temporarily replaced by a Technician Quiz Bowl Challenge.

The best part:
No additional fee.
No additional registration.
No limit on school participants. 
​
​
Student participants will be tested through a series of different assessment formats and events that are designed to test a wide range of technical skills. Students can compete in 1 or all 6 Quiz Bowl rounds for a chance to compete in the Quiz Bowl Championship.

​This year we will be hosting 2 Tech Challenge Quiz Bowl activities on each Super Saturday! Students will receive an access code prior to participating in each virtual competition.

Students will gain points for correct answers surrounding technical theatre. Each Saturday will have a leaderboard for Tech Challenge Quiz Bowl results so students can see where they land in the competition. ​
