175 St. Louis and New York High School Students Recognized at WWT's 11th Annual STEM Student Forum
ST. LOUIS, MO. (March 13, 2026) — World Wide Technology (WWT), a St. Louis-based global technology solutions provider, recently celebrated the next generation of STEM leaders at its 11th annual STEM Student Forum, an initiative designed to equip students with the skills and insights needed to drive future innovation.
The kickoff event, held at WWT's global headquarters in St. Louis, brought together 175 students from 19 high schools across the metropolitan area as well as one high school in New York City. Over six weeks, teams worked directly with WWT mentors to develop innovative solutions using technology to enhance efficiency in supply chain operations. These solutions were designed to support the unique needs of their schools, local organizations and the broader community.
Christian Brothers College High School (CBC) received the $10,000 first-place prize for its project, SCAR (Supply Chain Automation Robot). The student team designed and built a functioning prototype capable of labeling cables during the pre-cabling process, helping reduce human error and inconsistencies while improving efficiency in supply chain preparation.
Jennings Senior High School earned a $5,000 grant for their second-place project, while Parkway North High School received a $2,500 grant for third place.
