Foxcroft’s 15th Annual STEAM Challenge Coming on February 21! 

Designed for middle and high school students, the competition will see girls from Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC, using their knowledge of STEAM disciplines to participate in challenges around this year’s theme, "Girl Energy."

Working in teams of four, the girls will rotate through challenges in science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Winners will be chosen for each challenge, as well as overall winners. In addition, students can answer trivia questions to earn raffle tickets for the chance to win STEAM-themed prizes. Team members from event sponsor Coakley Williams, who built Foxcroft’s Mars STEAM Building, and architecture firm Hord Coplan Macht, who designed the project, both of which are leading Foxcroft’s Project STEAM Build Seminar, will host one of the challenges, and Foxcroft’s outstanding STEAM faculty have created the others.

The high school competition begins at 8:30am in Foxcroft’s Athletic/Student Center with visiting teams from several schools. The middle school division will compete in the afternoon, beginning at 1pm. Challenges in each rotation will be held in the newly opened Mars STEAM Building.

This year’s STEAM Challenge "Girl Energy" Logo design was conceived by Wren E. ‘26.
