The STEM Olympiad is an annual competition in which students compete to win prizes, test and learn new STEM skills, and complete STEM projects. The 2024 STEMducate STEM Olympiad began with a live kickoff event on December 27th.
Students can choose to compete in the category of their age level or any higher age level category.
Get ready to roll into action in this year’s thrilling Elementary School competition! Your mission is to design and build an “Eggbulance” capable of protecting a fragile egg passenger during a crash test. Using only simple materials like cardboard, tape, and glue, you’ll put your engineering skills to the test! Will your design be strong and fast enough to get the egg to the hospital in one piece? The ambulance that keeps its egg safe earns the win!
Get ready to make waves in this year’s exciting Elementary School competition! Your mission is to design a floating lifesaver that can carry and protect a watertight “medical kit” in the water. Using materials like balloons, plastic containers, tape, and string, you’ll need to balance strength, buoyancy, and waterproofing. Can your design stay afloat, resist drifting, and hold as much weight as possible before sinking? The lifesaver that keeps its medical kit safe and steady earns the win!
Hands on innovation starts here! In this challenge, your mission is to design and build a prosthetic “helping hand” that can pick up and hold a variety of objects. Whether using simple materials like cardboard, string, and rubber bands, or other materials, you’ll put your design to the test by lifting bags and weights—all while making sure your grabber stays strong, creative, and functional. The hand that shows the best balance of strength, performance, and creativity will take the win
