2024 National STEM Challenge – Seeking Reviewer Volunteers!

The 2024 National STEM Challenge – as featured on MSNBC – is in need of volunteers to help evaluate and provide feedback on student projects in the Environmental Stewardship and Future Foods categories.

The National STEM Challenge presented by EXPLR, is a nationwide challenge designed to cultivate creativity, critical thinking, and a love for STEM among middle and high school students. With schools in every state and a national network of more than 100 student-serving organizations taking part, we are expecting approximately 20,000 student submissions!

The digital review process will take place November-December 2023 with each volunteer reviewing between 10-12 projects. Top-scoring STEM Champions will be invited to participate in the 2024 National STEM Festival in Washington D.C., co-presented by the U.S. Department of Education and EXPLR.

STEM education plays a vital role in shaping the future of our world. As such, it’s important that every student receives meaningful feedback and encouragement to help cultivate and foster a genuine interest and passion for STEM learning and careers. Participation from scientists, educators, and environmental professionals would help instill a sense of confidence and motivation to pursue their passions further.
