The Science and Engineering Challenge is a nationwide STEM outreach program presented by the University of Newcastle in partnership with JCU. Through the Challenge, students experience aspects of science and engineering which they would not usually see in their school environment.
Year 10 students from across the region battled it out for a place at the State Super Challenge by building bridges, wiring cities, building a bionic hand, constructing earthquake proof towers and designing hovercrafts.
The challenges encouraged students to think outside the box and come together as a team to achieve a mutual goal, check out some photos from the Science and Engineering Challenge 2021 on the JCU Facebook page.
If you are interested in participating in next year’s 2022 Science and Engineering Challenge please keep an eye out on our page for notifications or contact the Future Students team for more information.
