Challenge and Enrichment

Jobs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are growing twice as fast as non-STEM occupations.

Research shows we need to reach students by age 15 to influence their long term participation in STEM.

The Australian STEM Video Game Challenge seeks to:

ENGAGE students in STEM subjects

ENABLE students to develop real-world skills

EMPOWER more students to choose STEM careers.

Teams of 1-4 students will meet during 1-2 lunchtimes each week during Term 2 to design and develop a video game based on a given theme. 

This year we want you to build a game that incorporates one or more aspects of ‘stars’. 

What are stars?

Space: Stars are big, bright blobs in the sky, fusing hydrogen and generating incredible amounts of energy.

Mathematics: Stars are geometric shapes that usually have 5 or 6 points…but what are the other options?

Or can you think of another way you can use the idea of a star in your game?

If you are interested in taking part of this program, please complete the expression of interest form here: https://forms.office.com/r/ksSR6F0vmA

We will then contact you on Teams by May 31 to arrange a meeting time.
