Registration for 2016 is Now Open!

Last year’s competition was a grand success, with the finals taking place at the Dow Facility in Philadelphia! This year’s competition aims to be even bigger, with the finals being hosted on the first ever STEM Cruise!

The cruise is a week long and takes us to the Dominican Republic. In addition to the finals, the cruise is open to teachers of all grades and college staff of teacher education. There, they can participate in numerous STEM-based workshops that deal with project-based learning, STEM questioning techniques, dinosaurs, and more!

This year’s theme is “Making an Impact.” The challenge is to identify a problem associated with plastics or the need for clean, cheap energy that helps Make an Impact from negative effects of these two areas. Teams will identify a specific problem, explain and analyze in detail, and design a solution that can mitigate these negative impacts.
