Invest in the Next Generation of STEM, STEAM & Innovation Leaders
Your business can help students turn ideas into action.
DesignQuest is a hands-on STEM and STEAM innovation challenge that gives middle and high school students the opportunity to identify real-world challenges, explore emerging technologies, apply design thinking, develop creative solutions, and present their ideas to authentic audiences.
Students don’t simply learn about problems.
They are challenged to design solutions.
Through DesignQuest, students develop skills in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, the arts, creativity, entrepreneurship, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving.

The workforce students will enter is changing rapidly. Businesses need employees who can do more than memorize information—they need people who can identify problems, think creatively, collaborate, communicate ideas, use technology, adapt to change, and develop meaningful solutions.
DesignQuest gives students the opportunity to practice those skills now, while they are still in school.
Through real-world challenges, students move beyond simply learning about a problem. They research it, question it, design an original solution, test their ideas, receive feedback, revise their work, and present their solution to others.
This type of hands-on learning connects education to the skills businesses increasingly need. The U.S. Department of Labor identifies communication, leadership, decision-making, problem-solving, and other employability skills as important components of career preparation.Â
