WVIA Education STEM Challenge

WVIA Education's STEM Challenge invites middle school students to put their creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills to the test.

Every school year WVIA Education will issue a new confidential STEM challenge to all Enhanced Scholar School Districts. Students brainstorm, prototype, test and refine their ideas-just like real engineers! The winning class receives special recognition on our website, celebrating their ingenuity and team work!

Congratulations to Ms. Jayleen Miller's Grades 3-5 Gifted Class for winning the first ever WVIA Education STEM Challenge! These students showcased incredible creativity and teamwork while building a sturdy platform entirely out of popsicle sticks. Their innovative approach truly set them apart. Enhanced Scholar Schools, get ready - next school year brings another exciting opportunity to compete in the STEM Challenge! Maybe your class can come up with the next winning design!
