National FFA Endorsed Activities
We are partnering with other organizations to create a variety of National FFA Endorsed Activities. National FFA staff will vet these opportunities to ensure relevance and quality. These activities are not limited to FFA members. Recognition will not take place at national convention and will be at the discretion of the partner organization.
Plant the Moon
This new partnership between the Institute of Competition Sciences and the National FFA will inspire students across the country by challenging them to develop innovative experiments to learn how to plant the moon. This collaboration is bringing the Plant the Moon Challenge™ to the extensive FFA community to expand and enhance the opportunities for students to engage with NASA, space exploration, and STEM like never before.
More Information coming soon.
Turfgrass Science Invitational
This turfgrass science competition will alternate between the national conferences of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America and the Sports Field Management Association. During the conferences, participating FFA members and advisors will be offered professional development and access to the trade show in addition to the competition.
Make48
Make48 is a nationwide invention-competition docuseries that gives everyday people a challenge to develop a new product at the start of a three-day event. With just 48 hours, teams plan, prototype and pitch a new idea within the specifications of a challenge. Teams utilize a variety of tools, materials, makerspaces and access to qualified expert “Tool Techs.” They assist teams with the provided fabrication tools to prototype ideas of ranging complexity. No prior invention experience is necessary. The winner is announced at the end of the 48-hour window. Make48 has launched 25+ innovation-based competitions since 2015. For the last eight years, the series has been a nationally syndicated television program through PBS and has now partnered with This Old House Makers channel on Roku for seasons 6-8.
More Information coming soon.
Spanish Creed Invitational
The National Spanish Creed Invitational provides an immeasurable positive experience for the organization’s Hispanic/Latino members—one of the largest and fastest–growing member demographics—to demonstrate their knowledge of the FFA Creed and the language they are most comfortable with.
More Information coming soon.

National FFA Designated Events
Working with other organizations, National FFA may create National FFA Designated Events. These events will be vetted by National FFA staff and will include National FFA winners who will be recognized at the National FFA Convention & Expo. However, the finals for these events will not occur at national convention.
