AISES Energy Challenge

The Energy Challenge (EC) is an energy-specific engineering and science fair, where 6th to 12th grade students use a two-phase process to create a real-world energy solution!

The top solutions are awarded a trip to Washington, D.C. to receive their awards, present their projects to Indian Affairs leadership, and participate in educational activities during their stay in our nation’s capital. EC is possible with the partnership of Northrop Grumman.
