Make sure to review the submission guidelines prior to completing your application to confirm eligibility. Ensure that you explore the award categories to determine which one(s) your submission best aligns with.

You will be contacted by your assigned judges to schedule a product demonstration for your submission. Each nomination will be reviewed by an independent judge to ensure fair and unbiased evaluations.

On behalf of our sponsors, NSTA and MCH Strategic Data, over 250,000 science and STEM educators will vote anonymously on products they feel have had the greatest impact on teaching and learning over the last year.

The judges’ ratings and votes are tallied for each award category. In the case of a tie, the results of the popular vote are used to determine a winner.

Finalists will be announced at ISTE 2022 and go on to the next round of judging—over 250,000 educators will have the chance to vote on Best of STEM.

Winners of the 2022 Best of STEM award will be announced at the National Science Teaching Association's summer conference.
