STAR Events Guidelines

Events link. Note: If the Resources tab does not show up on the computer screen, click on the down arrow on the

Consumer Sciences coursework.
Event categories are defined as:

• Level 2 – Grades 9-10
• Level 3 – Grades 11-12
Special notes:
• Mixed teams are allowed – participants should be placed in the level of the oldest team member
(Ex: If a 9th grade member is working with an 11th grade member, they should be placed in Level

taken. Eligibility requirements can be found on each event’s guidelines.
