This summer, young scientists and engineers from around the world took on the 2025 Education.com Summer STEM Challenge. Students in grades Pre-K through 8 used simple, everyday materials to complete fun STEM activities designed to spark curiosity and build critical thinking skills.
Submissions poured in from across the United States and from around the world, including Australia, Azerbaijan, Ghana, and Pakistan. Participants chose from six exciting STEM challenges, including building a roller coaster, crafting a catapult, stacking a cup tower, creating a solar oven, designing a parachute, or mixing up a bouncy ball.
