The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA: http://www.nsta.org) has four competitions that help students expand their knowledge of STEM. The Bright Schools Competition (http://brightschoolscompetition.org/) has students in grades 6-8 explore the connections among light, sleep, student health, and performance.  The DuPont Challenge (http://thechallenge.dupont.com/) has two separate divisions, one for elementary school students and the other for middle and high school students.  The elementary Dupont Challenge is a teacher-led classroom project in which participants create a short storybook about science's impact in the world; the middle/high DuPont Challenge is a STEM writing competition for individual students, supported by a sponsoring science teacher. The eCybermission competition (https://www.ecybermission.com/) is for students in grades 6-9, who compete in teams to find a solution to a real problem in their community. The Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision (http://www.exploravision.org/) competition is open to all K-12 students and invites them to conceive future technology by developing new ways to apply current science. Grab your friends, teachers, and parents and have fun with NSTA competitions.  Learn more about the NSTA competitions here: http://www.nsta.org/about/competitions.aspx
