Science and Engineering Challenge

Science and Engineering Challenge

The Science and Engineering Challenge is a national STEM outreach program conducted by the University of Newcastle. It is designed to inspire Year 10 students to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on, real-world problem solving.

Each year, a team of 蜜桃影院 students participates in this full-day event, competing in a variety of engineering-themed challenges. These challenges are designed to:

  • Encourage creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking

  • Highlight trade-offs between cost, function, and design

  • Showcase the real-world application of scientific and mathematical principles

Students work in small teams to complete a range of engaging activities, such as:

  • Building model bridges, hovercrafts, and catapults

  • Designing efficient power distribution networks

  • Creating earthquake-resistant towers

  • Developing sustainable housing solutions

The challenge promotes teamwork, innovation, and strategic thinking under pressure. Participation gives students a valuable insight into STEM disciplines and strengthens their problem-solving and communication skills.

Sydney Tech is proud to support this initiative each year and continues to be recognised as a strong and enthusiastic contributor to the program.
