20 National Finalist Teams Advance in the 18th Annual eCYBERMISSION Competition, June 17-19, 2020

May 14, 2020 By CybersecurityMarket.com

The U.S. Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP) announced that 20 student teams from across the United States have been selected as National Finalists in the 18th Annual eCYBERMISSION Competition. The web-based science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) program—sponsored by the U.S. Army and administered by the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) —is designed to cultivate student interest in STEM by encouraging students in grades six through nine to develop solutions to real-world problems in their local communities.

The National Finalist teams will advance to eCYBERMISSION’s National Judging & Educational Event (NJ&EE), taking place virtually on June 17-19.

The National Finalists were selected from a competitive group of 59 Regional Finalists. A panel of judges, consisting of U.S. Army scientists and engineers, evaluated teams based on several criteria including innovative ideas, benefit to the community, and overall development of the project.

“The U.S Army Education Outreach Program is proud to offer national STEM opportunities like eCYBERMISSION,” said Christina Weber, AEOP Cooperative Agreement Manager. “It’s always exciting to see so many talented students participate in our competitions, summer enrichment activities, and apprenticeship programs, and to watch them develop as they graduate from one program to the next. They’re becoming the next generation of thought leaders in science and technology, and it’s amazing to be a part of that. I’m honored to congratulate the Regional Winners in this year’s eCYBERMISSION competition, and I look forward to virtually seeing each of them at the National Judging and Educational Event. I truly hope all of our eCYBERMISSION students will continue the important work they’ve started in their communities, and I challenge all of our 9th grade students to apply their talents next year in the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium!”

“We are humbled by the passion and creativity of the students and Team Advisors to create lasting change in their communities,” said Dennis Schatz, NSTA President. “We congratulate the eCYBERMISSION National Finalists on their accomplishments so far and look forward to seeing how their STEM projects unfold in the coming weeks.”

The National Finalists focused their projects on one of seven mission challenges affecting their community, including alternative sources of energy; the environment; food, health and fitness; force and motion; national security and safety; robotics and technology. As National Finalists, each team member will receive $2,000 in U.S. Series EE Savings Bonds.

In addition to the National Awards, ten teams will each receive AEOP’s STEM-In-Action grant. These grants offer teams the opportunity to develop a concrete plan to further develop their project into a mature and scalable solution and effectively implement these solutions into their local communities. Each winning team will be awarded up to a $5,000 grant. The grants are independent of the selection of the National Winners.
