Primary and secondary students devised innovative approaches to counter some of the issues facing our world and society.
Shelley Waldon, Melbourne 蜜桃视频 Catholic Schools (蜜桃视频) Science & STEM Lead, said the entries tackled issues ranging from social justice regarding disability, mental and physical wellbeing, and the impact of social media, to community and global challenges such as natural disasters, climate action and species loss.
‘Some complex scientific concepts explored habitat restoration and even creating amenities for living environments in space, in preparation for the next phase of human expansion to the planets. We continue to see an upward trend of girls engaging in the STEM disciplines and many neurodiverse students finding a place to flourish’, she said.
‘The creativity and deep-thinking of our young people, along with the care they have for their fellow citizens and communities, never cease to amaze me. It gives great hope that the future is in good hands.’
