The BrainSTEM League

The BrainSTEM League is a year-round, team-based STEM competition program for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Organized into three core Leagues—Robot League, Code League, and Beyblades League—the BrainSTEM League brings coding, engineering, and physics to life through high-energy, hands-on challenges. Students compete in weekly scrimmages, practices, and seasonal tournaments while building technical skills and confidence.
