Super Competition

Super competition

Thank you for your interest in this year’s Super Competition. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort invested by schools, teachers, and students in planning to participate.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 Super Competition. Due to changes in academic schedules related to spring break adjustments and make-up days across districts, registration numbers were significantly lower than anticipated. In order to preserve the quality and competitive integrity of the event, we determined that cancellation is the most appropriate course of action for this year.

We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we truly value your continued engagement and support. We look forward to hosting a strong and well-attended Super Competition next year and hope your school will participate.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

The Center for STEM Education
