Embrace your competitive side!
Healthy competition plays a role in motivating students to perform well and excel. And the rewards go beyond winning the trophy or the prize. Competitions give students opportunities to learn and demonstrate new skills, work in teams, gain confidence, and make new friends.
STEAMKids has partnerships that allow us to host robotics and academic competitions.
