Calling all middle and high school educators!

Let your students shine in the 2024 National STEM Challenge, presented by the US Department of Education and EXPLR.

Students (grades 6-12) can dive into this year’s theme and use the scientific method or engineering design process to craft a standout STEM project. All they need to do is capture their genius in a 3-page PDF presentation for a chance to represent their state or territory.
