✨ PVNet’s Legacy of Excellence
Last year, PVNet teams swept the competition taking both 1st and 2nd place nationally in the SWFT Competition! Their outstanding work earned them an exclusive tour of SpaceX and a trip to Washington, D.C., where they met a NASA astronaut and shared their projects with industry leaders.

🚀 Why This Matters
The SWFT Competition provides students with a rare opportunity to engage in real-world aerospace challenges while developing skills in engineering, design, and communication.
PVNet students consistently demonstrate that middle school students, when properly guided, can compete — and win — at the national level.
🔭 Looking Ahead
SWFT is expected to host another competition beginning in late 2026 through early 2027. Families should keep an eye out for upcoming announcements so their students can participate in the next opportunity.
