About the Challenge: The Nevada K-12 STEM Challenge is about engaging students and teachers to use STEM concepts to help solve some of Nevada's biggest challenges.  This school year, the Governor has invited every student, group of students, or classroom in Nevada to examine the challenges in energy and transportation.  We are looking forward to seeing your solutions using STEM concepts and innovative technology at two regional student recognition events in the spring.

Recognition Event Details: There will be two recognition events, one at CSN and one at TMCC.  Students will have the opportunity to showcase their projects.  Industry professionals will be invited to view the projects and ask the students questions about their solution.  Please be prepared!
