JUMP (Join the discussion, Unveil innovation, Make connections, Promote tech-to-market) into STEM is an online, 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). For the 2022-2023 JUMP into STEM program year, the JUMP into STEM team is honored to receive gold-level sponsorship support from Clayton Home Building Group! Now on their 3rd year of sponsorship, Clayton Home Building Group continues to Make Connections with current and future building scientists.
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 and diversity in the building science field. Through the embedded diversity objective, JUMP into STEM focuses on the inclusion of an interdisciplinary mix of majors and students underrepresented in the building science field.
In the 2021-2022 Challenge Competition, JUMP into STEM drew 83 holistic solution ideas from 23 colleges around the nation. The 2022-2023 competition is currently mid-cycle with another round of ideas to today’s top Building Science Challenges.
