GO-350 is an online gaming competition with the following requirements:
During registration you will provide a password. Please remember your password as you’ll need it to access your account. If you forget your password, you can ask your teacher if your school is registered or you can send an email to management@globalchallengeaward.org if you are registering as an independent student.
Follow these steps to play the games and get started in the competition:
1. For registration go to http://members.globalchallengeaward.org/students and then click Student Sign Up. You will be taken to Google checkout to pay the fees of $15.2. You will then be sent an email with a link to the games and key code which you will use to play the games. Write down the key code!
3. You can login during Nov 2nd at 8am EST and closes on Friday, Nov 13th at 5pm PDT to download the games installer file.
4. You will be asked to “Save a file” on your computer. Let this file download completely on your computer. Please DO NOT use a file downloaded by your friend as this may invalidate both you and your friends gaming sessions.
5. Double click on the file you just downloaded. This will “install” the gaming session on your computer.
6. Enter the Serial Key number which was provided in your Email. A page of instructions will appear which you should read carefully.
7. When you are ready to start playing the games, click on the Start Game button. You now have ONE hour to play all FIVE games. We recommend you finish one game and then move to the next game sequentially. Remember, you need internet connection during the entire hour you are playing these games.
8. After one hour, the Gaming Session will be de-activated. DO NOT close the window. Wait for the message “Now you can Close this window” to appear and then you can close the window.
