The Downingtown STEM Academy is a public magnet high school in Downingtown, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. They are regular participants in the local Chester County Intermediate Unit competition. After discovering pyramidal quizbowl in January 2017, they have become regulars in the southeastern Pennsylvania circuit, eventually appearing at HSNCT.

In 2018, they finished T8 at HSNCT and 18th at NSC, both of which were the highest finishes for a Pennsylvania team at those nationals since the State College dynasty of 1998-2011.
