Partnership
The MEZ’s mission is to create sustainable programs that make STEM education in Detroit accessible to all. Our programs are offered at no cost to students, and in line with this, the Detroit City Championship is being offered at an extreme discount – just $100 for teams, with scholarships available, as opposed to a typical cost $300 for an average off-season event or thousands for an in-season event. We rely on the generous support of our partners, who share our vision of all students in Southeast Michigan having access to top-tier STEM education, and our passion for developing Detroit’s future engineers and leaders and 21st century-ready workforce.

All sponsorships of the MEZ are tax-deductible, and we are offering two tiers of sponsorship as we host the DCC: Title Sponsors and Silver Sponsors.
