JUMP (Join the discussion, Unveil innovation, Make connections, Promote tech-to-market) into STEM is a nationwide building science competition for undergraduate and graduate students at U.S. colleges and universities, supported by the DOE Building Technologies Office and co-managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), with internship support from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

JUMP into STEM aims to attract bright students from a variety of majors (engineering, computer science, mathematics, economics, policy, engineering education, architecture) to building science. JUMP into STEM seeks to inspire the next generation of building scientists, focusing on creative ideation in the building science field.

In the 2023-2024 Challenge Competition, JUMP into STEM drew 75 holistic solution ideas from 28 colleges around the nation. For the 2023-2024 Challenge Competition, the number of solution ideas increased to 83, with 26 colleges represented.

WHY Join JUMP into STEM as an Industry Sponsor?

Industry sponsorships provide undesignated funds to support JUMP into STEM and allow more students to attend the Final Competition and expansion of benefits for Finalists, Winners, and Industry Sponsors. Together, industry sponsors, the JUMP into STEM team, and Professor Team provide an outstanding competition environment and opportunity to engage beyond the classroom. This year’s top teams, professors, and sponsors will be invited to attend the in-person Final Competition, scheduled for January 30–31, 2025, at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. Final Competition winners receive 10-week paid summer internships at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, or Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Interns may also be invited to participate in a 2-day Industry Partner Visit with select JUMP into STEM Gold or Platinum Sponsors.
