Maryland MESA sponsors regional and statewide events to develop and highlight the abilities of students in STEM.
Throughout the academic year, students conduct research and prepare to participate in competitions that demonstrate to educators and parents what they have learned through participation in the MESA program.
Maryland MESA Challenges are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards.
MESA Day, an annual STEM competition held in each MESA state, provides students the opportunity to design and build projects, win medals, learn by doing, visit a college campus, and interact with each other as well as STEM professionals.
MESA Day is also a qualifying competition for the MESA USA National Engineering Design Competition held in June. The top middle and high school teams from each state’s MESA Day will continue competing against their fellow MESA students to obtain the coveted title of MESA USA Champion.
