The Microsoft STEM Student Challenge
Announcing the Microsoft STEM Student Challenge!
Ever wondered what the world will be like in 20 years?
How will the technology of today have changed?
We want you to invent the future!
The Microsoft STEM Student Challenge aims to help students connect the dots between the STEM subjects they study today and the impact those subjects could have on their ability to be part of the next generation of technology heroes. We invite students to use their knowledge of STEM subjects and marry it with research and creativity to imagine and depict their vision of technology in 2037.
The challenge is open to teams of 4-6 students in years 8-10.
