Are you looking to get your students involved in STEM Learning?
All Connecticut students in grades 3 through 12 are welcome and encouraged to participate in the third annual Lt. Governor’s Computing Challenge.
No Experience Needed! [for students or teachers]
This challenge expands students' creativity and exposes them to computing which is a STEM field. With STEM careers becoming more prominent and financially rewarding, there is no better time to get students interested in the field!Challenge Overview
Students can create a great project idea, a partially functioning prototype, or a fully functioning project - either with friends or on their own! They can choose the challenge type that is best for them as they identify an issue and propose a computing solution that embraces the theme of Coding for Good – Inspiring Health and Wellness For All. You can learn about the different challenge types here. Please see the attached flyer for specific support related to the Concept Challenge.
