We are currently working out the details for this new and exciting event, and will post information here as it becomes available.

Benefits of Participation

  • Students excel by becoming experts themselves in the area they choose.
  • These types of activities encourage students to take initiative, learn and become leaders, researchers and teachers.
  • Participation not only motivates students to take interest in STEM fields, but also stimulates excitement and confidence from the recognition and support they receive from parents, sponsors and judges.
