thank you for attending cob & cog 2026!
Thank you to all the students, educators, families, and supporters who joined us for the 2026 Cob & Cog Agriculture & STEM Challenge! We loved seeing students put their skills to the test, work together, and share their enthusiasm for agriculture and STEM.
A special thank-you to our title sponsor, GE Aerospace, and all our sponsors for helping make this event possible. Your generosity and commitment to student success help create opportunities for students to explore their interests and showcase their talents.
Congratulations to everyone who competed, and thank you to the volunteers, faculty, staff, and community partners who brought the event to life. We could not have done it without you!
