Symbols of Freedom

We are excited to keep the “A” in S.T.E.A.M. for the 2026 competition!

Each team will design and create a 3D mascot that showcases both creativity and patriotic American spirit. The mascot should represent the team’s collaboration, integrity, and strength.

American patriotism has always been rooted in unity and working together for the common good. On competition day, teams will bring their mascot to display at their table or workspace, where it will be judged during the engineering or coding challenge.

This challenge is designed to help teams practice working together, think creatively, and build the skills needed for success. Use it as an opportunity to prepare your team to stand out, compete with pride, and leave a lasting legacy for future engineers. More details will be shared as the event approaches!
