<div class="prose">
<p>Each competitive team picks its members through tryouts, which we hold in the summer and in October.</p>
<p>You sign up for the teams you're interested in, then do one assignment for a skill that team needs, like CAD, OpenRocket, coding, electronics, or a research proposal. Teams are picked from those results. You can see which skills each team uses in the <a href="club.html#competitions">table on the Club page</a>.</p>
<p>Watch the Google Classroom for next year's dates.</p>
</div>
<div class="notice-box danger" style="padding: 0.9rem 1.25rem; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 1.5rem 0 0;">
<strong>AI policy:</strong> If we detect any AI use in a tryout, the applicant is disqualified and barred
from SBHS Aerospace Club activities. Treat the tryout like a school assignment.
