Deakin Science & Engineering Challenge - Tuesday 15th August

The Science and Engineering Challenge is running again in 2023! Up to eight schools can compete in a challenge day, with each school submitting a team of between 16 to 32 students. The students are involved in an exhilarating day competing against other schools in fun and engaging hands-on activities. These include:

• designing an earthquake proof tower

• building a hovercraft or bridge

• providing electricity to a city

• creating an environmentally friendly house.

Points are awarded based on performance and the school with the highest score at the end of the day is the winner. Qualifying schools may go on to compete at a state final, and eight winning schools from around Australia are invited to compete at a one-day national final each year.
