BIEA aims to bring together educators and young people from around the world, who share a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The STEM Competition provides an exciting focus to challenge their ideas, innovations, and learning. The competition targets three age categories of students from 9 to 11, from 12 to 14, and from 15 to 17 to build bridges between science, technological innovation, education, and young people across a variety of industries.
The competition is held every summer with a new science and innovation theme picked every year. The theme in 2019 reflects two major concepts: Technological innovation and conservation of endangered animal species: “Fighting extinction”. This year’s theme revolves around the endangered animals as over the last hundred years, we know of at least 96 species of animals that have gone extinct, that is, lost to this world forever. Humanity has proven itself unable to stem the tide of destruction that it has caused through its actions. Our abuse of the environment has come at a high price as more and more species are added to the critically endangered lists, but there is a weapon in our arsenal that we can use to try to change the future: Technology.
Opportunity Focus Areas:
- Science
- Technology
- Engineering
