The Ten80 STEM Nationals is the culminating competition that highlights and celebrates the accomplishments of Ten80 students and teams who compete in local and national events using skills they have practiced during the academic year, including science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as entrepreneurship. Joining Mouser in the sponsorship is valued manufacturer partner Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI).

"Mouser is excited to support Ten80 and its highly engaging STEM educational initiatives for students," said Kevin Hess, Mouser's Senior Vice President of Marketing. "Education is central to Mouser's history, and we gladly support STEM events like this to help prepare students for successful careers as leaders of technological innovation."

Ten80 racing teams collaborate and compete using 1:10 scale autonomous electric vehicles (AEV). The competition enables them to practice physical computing and coding, systems-thinking, teamwork and leadership. The teams use real-time data and math modeling to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Students can collaborate and compete in face-to-face events and in an online points race. There is a place for all students to contribute to the team through race engineering, coding and automation, design and fabrication, graphic design, marketing, community outreach, and data-driven design projects that ask students to follow their own interests, using good investigative practices.

Ten80's first engineer-educator teams formed in the late 1990s to champion project-based learning through professional development. Over the last 20-plus years, through National Science Foundation grants, longitudinal studies and K-12 educators, Ten80 has developed a comprehensive, data-driven philosophy and framework for STEM education that can engage and serve all students. Today, the organization is a leader in STEM education and industry inspiration events, named one of four exemplary and ready-to-scale initiatives by STEMWorks. K–12 schools, organizations, and professional networks partner with Ten80 to initiate STEM activities or strengthen existing programs and initiatives through curriculum, competitions, and workforce pipeline events.
