Join us for Caid’s Arts & Sciences Fair and Pentathlon! This year is promising to be one of the best, and for the first time ever, all Pentathlon winners (Youth, Individual, and Team) will receive award medallions.
You asked and we listened! Based on feedback received from the Kingdom A&S surveys, Pentathlon will feature gathering spaces (both indoor and outdoor) for socializing, and we are hoping to offer activities for entrants to engage in throughout the day. Feedback training will be mandatory for evaluators, with feedback resources made available to entrants as well. Our new Shadow Evaluator program provides interested folks an opportunity to observe and learn how entries are evaluated during the event (conditions apply). Lastly, the awards ceremony will take place during an evening revel complete with dancing where everyone can celebrate our A&S community.
