The Super Summer Science Search (S⁴) is an exciting science competition we host annually during the summer. It challenges middle school students to apply their knowledge and skills of STEAM to address a problem that is prevalent in today’s world and create a solution. Managed by the Teen Advisory Council, S⁴ has been successfully run for 9 years and continues to inspire and engage students. The primary objective of S⁴ is to act as a precursor for middle school students who are interested in both STEAM and pursuing high school competitions
