General information

Full STEAM Ahead 

In some cases you see STEAM used instead of STEM: the A is added for art! In this challenge you’ll use your creativity and create art by adapting a ‘viral’ social media trend to your robotics or drone team. Your short video can be funny or thoughtful, but the goal is to elicit reaction from the viewer. It is important that you are safe, keep your submission appropriate and abide by age limits and parental permission when it comes to the use of social media. This challenge is all about team bonding, sparking creativity, and showing off your team spirit!
