The Regional Media and Design Competition is evolving into an exciting new chapter: Innovate for Impact: A Design Challenge. This refreshed design thinking challenge will take place on April 8, 2026 and invites middle and high school students to address real-world environmental and community issues through creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Grounded in the PA STEELS Standards, student teams will develop sustainable, tech-forward solutions while engaging with local experts, educators, and changemakers. It’s more than a competition—it’s a launchpad for meaningful impact.

Stay tuned—more details are coming soon!
