The 2026 BIEA STEM Competition season is near its final stages! This year’s challenge focuses on the theme:

“Reducing Food Waste, From Fields to Table.”

With almost a quarter of all food produced going uneaten, teams are invited to design innovative STEM solutions to reduce food loss and waste at any stage of the supply chain—whether in farming, transport, retail, or at-home consumption.

New for this season:

• Prerequisite: Every participant must hold a valid BIEA STEM Star Certificate. (multiple pathways to obtain one)

• Team entries only: Entries must be from teams of 3–5 students—no individual submissions.

Final events dates:

7th July 2026 - International Final Showcase, Mercato Metropolitano, London

8th July 2026 - Youth Voice Forum, UCL East Campus, London

Join the global movement to cut food waste and create a more sustainable future.

Innovation Beyond Borders, Empowering the Future

The BIEA Chinese Language STEM Competition runs in parallel with the BIEA International STEM Competition and welcomes submissions from any students who would like to enter their projects in Chinese. This initiative aims to remove language barriers, enabling more young people to confidently share their STEM ideas, present innovative solutions, and take part in an international STEM platform.

The Chinese Division is the first of BIEA’s international language STEM competition initiatives. As BIEA continues to expand its international partnerships, we hope to introduce additional language divisions in the future, creating more accessible opportunities for young people around the world to participate in global STEM innovation.

科创无界、智启未来

BIEA国际青少年STEM科创大赛中文赛区与BIEA国际STEM科创大赛同步开展，欢迎希望以中文提交作品的学生参加。该赛区旨在消除语言障碍，让更多学生能够自信地用中文表达科学创意、展示创新方案，并参与国际STEM交流。

中文赛区是BIEA首个国际语言STEM赛区。未来，随着国际合作伙伴网络的发展，BIEA希望逐步推出更多语言赛区，为全球更多青年提供平等参与国际STEM创新的平台。
