Understanding STEM Competitions
STEM competitions engage participants in solving real-world problems through science, technology, engineering, and math, promoting creativity, critical thinking, and practical skills for the future.
What is a STEM competition?
STEM competitions invite students—individually or in teams—to tackle specific challenges through science, technology, engineering, or math. Many of these challenges are rooted in real-world issues, encouraging participants to think creatively and critically to develop innovative solutions.
Benefits of STEM competitions
STEM competitions offer structure for beginners and skill-building opportunities for advanced students in areas like coding, robotics, and engineering. Participants can develop critical thinking, autonomy, and teamwork skills, while enjoying a low-pressure entry point or more challenging, limit-testing experiences.
Many competitions offer prizes, including cash awards for online and virtual events. No matter your experience level, these events provide real-world problem solving, hands-on challenges, and plenty of fun along the way.
How to get started
