Open to both high school and home school students, the Thomas Cup offers a free-to-attend day of challenge, learning, fun, and excitement to 32 teams of five Maine students. After receiving instruction from Thomas College faculty, teams compete throughout the day across five STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) events covering topics including: cybersecurity, crime scene investigation, robotics, innovation, and strategy.
