BrainSTEM SDG Schools Challenge

The BrainSTEM SDG Schools Challenge is a full-day program that fosters collaboration among students (Year 8-9) and teachers from government, Catholic, and independent schools. Together, we aim to tackle some of the most pressing global issues in communities worldwide, making each participant an integral part of the team.

Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this program will inspire and equip the next generation of innovators and leaders to positively impact our planet.

Students will:

• Work with students from other schools (in mixed teams)
• Learn/develop new skills like Design Thinking
• Build expertise in problem-solving, critical thinking and brainstorming
• Use tools like LEGO for prototyping
• Compete against other teams for the best solution
• Listen to and learn from industry experts
• Present to judges and win prizes

Registrations are capped at 10 students per school.
