STEM Everyday #277 | The National STEM Challenge | feat. Kari Byron & Jenny Buccos

Kari Byron & Jenny Buccos are here to share all about the 2nd Annual National STEM Festival. EXPLR’s National STEM Festival inspires kids nationwide to engage with STEM, a mission more crucial than ever as we advance towards a technology-driven future and workforce.

Submissions for the 2025 National STEM Festival are open to young innovators across all 50 states and all U.S. territories until October 20, 2024. Top-scoring students, along with a caregiver, will receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, DC for the National STEM Festival, where they will share their project, network with top business and government leaders, and learn skills that will equip them for meaningful careers in the future.
Also, check out the Live & On-Demand conversations with people in super STEM careers on the National STEM Challenge website

EXPLR’s commitment to education includes work on a bill to establish National STEM Week, which will enhance STEM pathways for students across the country. The National STEM Week bill was introduced to Congress by U.S. Representatives Mike Carey (R-OH) and Joyce Beatty (D-OH). 

Kari Byron (former member of Mythbusters) and Jenny Buccos are the Co-Directors of the National STEM Challenge and Co-Founders of EXPLR.
