What Is eCYBERMISSION STEM Competition?
eCYBERMISSION is a free, web-based STEM competition for students in grades 6-9, sponsored through the U.S. Army Educational Outreach Program and administered with the National Science Teaching Association. A team has two to four students and one eligible adult Team Advisor. It identifies a real problem in its community, then follows either scientific inquiry to investigate it or engineering design to develop a solution. Mixed-grade teams are allowed but compete at the highest team member's grade.
The 2026-2027 official calendar lists an August 12, 2026 registration opening, February 24, 2027 for student/team/Team Advisor registration, and March 3 for the online Mission Folder. These are separate stages; the later submission date does not extend registration. The official timeline gives dates but no clock times or timezones, so applicants must confirm the exact portal cutoff rather than assuming 11:59 p.m. Teams need regular computer/internet access, parent/guardian consent, an adult advisor, one online Mission Folder, and compliant research begun on or after April 1, 2026. Physical prototypes are documented digitally rather than mailed.
