Colonial Intermediate Unit 20 welcomed middle and high school students from across the region for the 2026–2027 Keystone Competition on October 28, 2026. This year's challenge tasked students with developing innovative ideas to enhance Pennsylvania State Parks.
Students from Bethlehem Area, Delaware Valley, Nazareth Area, Northampton Area, Pen Argyl Area, Pleasant Valley, Pocono Mountain, and Saucon Valley School Districts, as well as the Diocese of Allentown, participated in this exciting, one-day STEM competition.
The event challenged students in grades 7–8 and 9–12 to put their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to the test. Working in small teams, students tackled the challenge, developed creative solutions, and presented their ideas to a panel of judges.
The competition provided a valuable opportunity for students to collaborate, think critically, and explore the power of innovation through hands-on learning.
