Thanks to a number of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) competitions and programs happening all over the world, kids everywhere are sharpening their technical skills. Here are just a few programs that are developing future generations of scientists and engineers:

  • A group of high schoolers from Bangladesh won this year’s FIRST Global Challenge robotics competition. Team Bangladesh beat teams from 174 countries through various challenges. For the Quarantine Time challenge, the team had built a wifi-controlled robot dubbed “Covitron-1,” which can deliver medicine, food, and other necessities to people under quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. For one of the social media challenges, they created a video and computer program that spread awareness about STEM. For the some of the technical challenges, they designed several devices, including a paper plane launcher, a device that can rescue children from drowning, and a robot that can clean.
