BattChallenge

Our sponsors, Research and Inc. helped power the future through their sponsorship of the workforce challenge. Their support helped create hands-on learning opportunities where students could grow, build, and solve real-world challenges.

Sponsorship like this matters because it goes beyond visibility. It helped fuel the next generation of engineers, problem-solvers, and leaders who learned how to turn big ideas into real impact.

We’re grateful for partners who believe in the value of workforce development and invest in what comes next.
