Calling All STEM Champions!

In this action-packed Enrichment Program, students channel their inner competitive spirit to complete 60-second challenges that reinforce specific STEM principles. From exploring energy conservation by rolling marbles over tape to understanding the power of air pressure by making cups fly, each day, learners utilize household items and micro-challenges to demonstrate the expansive world of STEM.

As the challenges in 60 Seconds or Less become progressively more difficult, learners need to think fast, move quickly and apply the real-world principles they’ve learned in order to earn the honor of being called a true STEM champion!
