STEM MAD National Title
A talented group of Year 4 and Year 5 students were surprised yesterday to learn they had won the overall Andy Thompson Foundation Award for the National STEM MAD Challenge!
Competing against students from 110 schools around Australia, Mercedes College students stood out for their innovative and impactful project, titled ‘Decreasing Stress and isolation for Astronauts’, which they showcased in the South Australia STEM Exhibition earlier this year.
STEM MAD (Make A Difference) celebrates student initiatives that use Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) principles to address real-world issues and create meaningful change.
To win this Award, at a national level is a great achievement and shows that a passion for all things STEM is alive and well at Mercedes College – as well as some very talented students!
