The Australian Government awarded $1.6 million in Sponsorship Grants for Student Science Engagement and International Competitions 2024.
Grants will help students take part in in-person and virtual events, both in Australia and overseas. Funding encourages our students to consider a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the future.
Successful projects include:
- students from Clifton Hills Primary School in Western Australia will design, build and code a Lego robot for a regional tournament
- Chancellor State College in Queensland will take part in the FIRST Tech Challenge engineering and robotics competition
- Pembroke School in South Australia will assemble a floating rig and program an underwater camera as part of a citizen science project to monitor Murray Cod
- students from Townsville High School in Queensland will attend in the inaugural Youth to Action STEM Conference 2024 in Vanuatu
- students from the Nature School in New South Wales will visit Lord Howe Island to participate in a 4 night biology, geology and conservation event.
