This STEM/SUMO Competition is designed to exercise and measure the students’ ability in several important areas involving skill, critical thinking, and strategy.

Join our exciting SUMO tournament and four other events or just do five other events.  This year our events will be Virtual Reality, Drone Flying, Skills/Tool ID, Math, and Science.  If you don’t have a robot for the SUMO tournament you will not need any other equipment. Just come and have fun with the five events!!!

STEM Prizes. 1st-3rd place in each event are awarded STEM Points that can be spent in our STEM Store for very cool science & engineering kits and drones.
