2024 SeAL Competition
SEAL Challenge
The SeAL Challenge is intended to introduce high school students (grades 9-12) to career opportunities they may not have otherwise known existed. This competition also helps high school educators and administrators implement a successful science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program into their school district by providing curriculum that is directly linked to the challenge.
Teams sign up for one of three categories: sea, air, or land. For each category, high school teams tackle difficult engineering tasks.
Congratulations to this year's SeAL Challenge winners!
