Junior Achievement of South Central Pennsylvania (JASCPA) will hold its first STEM Corporate Challenge in three locations in May. The events will take place on Tuesday, May 7, at Capital City Airport, 112 Airport Road, New Cumberland; on Thursday, May 16, at Listrak Corporate Offices, 100 W. Millport Road, Lititz; and on Wednesday, May 22, in Memorial Hall at York Fairgrounds, 334 Carlisle Ave., York.
The fundraising event will aim to bring Junior Achievement's STEM Summit high school program, which recently ran for the 200th time since its inception in 2013, to the business volunteers who traditionally serve as mentors during the daylong STEM career exploration event. The STEM Corporate Challenge will allow teams of five business colleagues to compete in the following timed challenges: electrical, relay, math, civil engineering, and robotics. Prizes will be awarded to the overall top scoring team, top fundraising team, and top individual fundraiser. Funds raised will benefit Junior Achievement programs for kindergarten through 12th-grade students in schools throughout southcentral Pennsylvania.
Event registration will begin at 5:30 p.m., and light refreshments will be served until 6 p.m. The competition will begin promptly at 6 p.m. and will run until 8 p.m., with the awards ceremony to follow. Corporations may register as many teams as they wish.
