A team is comprised of five students and one adult mentor. All teams will compete over the Internet, ending on January 19, 2001. Top teams will advance to the state competition on March 5, 2000. The State Champions will represent Minnesota at the National LifeSmarts Competition in San Diego, CA in April 2001. At the website competition, students enter into a series of multiple choice questions at different levels.
Questions get more demanding as the students progress.
