Each month there will be 2 challenges worth 100 points each. For the 20/21 school year, the challenges start in January and end in May. Challenges are categorized into two types- Tool Challenges and School Challenges.

Tool Challenges are centered on learning educational tools (more nuts and bolts) and School Challenges are more about instructional practices (ISAC, SAMR, more pedagogical).

Challenges that are completed during the month they debut earn the On-Time bonus worth an extra 10 points! (exception- January’s On Time bonus deadline is extended to the end of February due to the late launch)
