Show Synopsis
On the hit TV show STEM Challenge!, hosts Jo-Jo and Rory introduce young Arizonans to the power of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) using the three Cs: critical thinking, collaboration and creativity. When their Golden Yo-Yo is stolen by the Time Bender, who believes it can control time, Jo-Jo and a team of STEM specialists must act quickly to retrieve it.

With the help of Professor Von Pickleshtankin and Arizona McQueen, they face a series of STEM-based challenges. As the team works through these obstacles, they uncover important lessons about how STEM skills are used in real life.

In the final moments, Rory asks Jo-Jo about the significance of STEM beyond school. Jo-Jo emphasizes its lifelong value, and the show concludes with students sharing their future STEM career aspirations and their potential impact on Arizona’s industries.
