Challenge & Enrichment

Tournament of Minds 2024

On Saturday August 17th, 35 VSC students competed in the 2024 ‘Tournament of Minds’ at Deakin University in Burwood.

We had 3 teams enter the STEM challenge and 2 teams compete in the Social Sciences category.

Each team of 7 students had worked together without teacher or parent assistance over a period of 5 weeks to develop a 10-minute presentation in response to a set challenge. 

Teams were marked on the creativity of their solution, their ingenuity in overcoming obstacles, their teamwork, presentation skills, and their creation of a 3D model or prototype. 

All teams also participated in an unseen ‘spontaneous challenge’ on the day.

All teams successfully completed and presented a solution to their set challenges and should be very proud of the work that they were able to produce in this short time frame.

Congratulations!
