ECWC 2026 conference competition

Turn Your Best Center or Station into a $500 Scholarship!

Do you have a learning center that sparks true wonder? A classroom station that consistently drives deep engagement and creative learning. It's time to share your genius and get rewarded!

We invite all early childhood educators to submit their most innovative and impactful classroom centers for the inaugural Creation Station Challenge!

How to Participate & Win

1. Submit Your Idea (link below): Detail your favorite learning station, be it a sensory table, dramatic play area, maker space, or block center. Tell us the title, S.T.E.A.M. connection, description, learning objectives, and materials.

2. Bring Your Display: If selected, you will create and bring a physical display of your station to the conference (it will leave with you at the end of the day). This is your chance to show colleagues your creativity and the depth of learning the center provides! If part of the display is too big, provide photographs with your display.  

3. Peer Review: Conference attendees (your fellow educators!) will serve as judges, reviewing the stations based on creativity, educational value, and potential for replication.

4. Win BIG: The top three stations, as chosen by peer review, will each receive a $500 Classroom Scholarship and a Mini Robot from Sphero!

 

The Grand Prize

THREE WINNERS will each receive A Mini Robot from Sphero and a $500 CLASSROOM SCHOLARSHIP to be used directly on materials, supplies, and resources for their students!

Must be registered and present to win!
