travel information
We will depart DHS at 5:30 am and travel to Urbana for the competition. After the tests at 10:00 and 11:00 am, there will be time for lunch and visiting the UIUC campus. The award ceremony is scheduled from 1:30 to 2:15 pm, so we could return to DHS as early as 5:00 pm, but might be as late as 6:30 pm if traffic is bad or the ceremony is delayed. See the
complete schedule of the day at UIUC for more details.
