STAR Students Advance in Battle of the Brains Competition
Battle of the Brains is Kansas City's thrilling K-12 STEM competition, where schools earn grants for STEM education by dreaming up innovative exhibit concepts for Science City. The competition sparks creativity, encourages collaboration, and provides a no-cost, immersive experience for students and teachers. The competition received more than 700 proposals, but these students came out on top.
As finalists, they even earned a grant for their program!
Sixth-grade STAR students from Mill Creek Upper Elementary School and Wilckens STEAM Academy at Hillcrest made it to the Top 20 Finalists in the Burns & McDonnell Battle of the Brains competition.
