Welcome Message
The United States Super STEM Competition(USSSC) is an educational non-profit organization running a yearly competition to challenge the creative mind of all middle school, high school and college students. The main focus for 2018 is to provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate their innovative knowledge and skills by competing towards one goal ...success! It is easy to enter....simply register online for one or more divisions. Design the project based on the official division rules, then submit it to us before the posted deadline for a chance to win recognition awards for your school, students or classroom. Additionally, female students of registered schools are eligible to apply for the Susan Sanford Memorial STEM Scholarship.
The competition is open to all United States public, private, vocational, charter, magnet and home-schooled students. There are no worries of travel expenses to the competition site at Somerset Berkley Regional High School in Somerset, Massachusetts. Most Divisions call for submitting a video of their completed projects to us. Divisions are guided by the curriculum standards of the Next Generation Science Standards, Standards for Technological Literacy and the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Framework. The USSSC is a student competition approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
Divisions have been designed to spark the STEMist inside each participating student or team. Registered schools and/or STEM teachers should find the Project Based Learning (PBL) strategy underlining this national competition provides an excellent opportunity for self-motivated STEM students to direct their Division Goal by naturally initiating the Scientific Method, Mathematical Habits of Mind, and the Engineering Design Process, all of which are important elements in STEM education. New and veteran STEM teachers are highly encouraged to implement 1 or more of these hands-0n STEM projects in their own classroom, enrichment activities or after school clubs.
Somerset Berkley Regional High School is our host school and students in the Technology and Engineering Department prototype and test Division projects. Select students, staff, alumni, and community members serve on Division judging committees. The USSSC is actively seeking and forming partnerships with Education, Industry and Business to help prepare students for the 21st century workforce. We hope to drive an educational revolution for the greater good. We believe giving students the opportunity to exercise their academic muscles will help keep our STEM pipeline flowing with technologically literate and highly skilled problem solvers helping to strengthen the United States economy for generations to come.
At this point it is excellent that your association, school, professor, principal, teacher, parent, classmate, relative or friend has been able to share our STEM competition with you. Updates on the 2018 United States Super STEM Competition and the Susan Sanford Memorial STEM Scholarship is underway, so bookmark your favorite division to see the official rules, example prototypes and example how-to videos being uploaded for your students' benefit. Please send us your comments or questions on the contact page........and have a super STEMtastic day!
