The KID Museum announced during its annual “Kidfest” event that the organization is partnering with Montgomery County Public Schools to increase opportunities for students in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Starting this school year, middle school students will have the chance to work in teams to find a solution to a community problem by using STEM concepts in a competition titled, “Invent the Future Challenge.”

The competition, created by MCPS and the KID Museum, calls on students to develop, design and build a prototype to solve a community problem of their choice, according to a news release.

Details about the challenge will be shared with schools and students within the next few weeks.
