A gateway to the future of STEM
The Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) is the aerospace industry’s flagship program designed to encourage students to study science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). TARC is the world’s largest student rocket contest and a key piece of the aerospace and defense industry’s strategy to build a stronger U.S. workforce in STEM.
Imaginative thinking and teamwork build tomorrow’s innovators
FIRST® LEGO® League teams apply science, engineering, and math concepts, plus a big dose of imagination, to develop solutions to real-world challenges. They also design, build, and program LEGO MINDSTORMS®-based robots to perform autonomous “missions” on a playing field. Along the way, they develop critical thinking, team-building, and presentation skills.
Science Olympiad is one of the premier science competitions in the nation, providing rigorous and standards-based challenges. Teamwork is a required skill in most scientific careers today, and Science Olympiad encourages group learning by designing events that forge alliances.
