All Commonwealth High Schools and Career Technical Academies were invited to participate in the Third Annual Governor’s STEM Competition.

This year’s competition, “Making Our Lives Better Through STEM”, featured teams of students from across the commonwealth. Students were challenged to research, present and design a device or project that is capable of making the quality of life better for citizens of Pennsylvania. High school teams were provided a $500 stipend to design and build a prototype of their device that can accomplish a series of practical tasks that can be translated into real-life needs.
