STEM Stars: MLC Students Impress at Grand Final

On Monday 21 October, six Year 9 students and seven Year 6 students participated in the Sydney Science Park STEM Cross Schools Grand Final Challenge Day. On the day our students were split across mixed school teams and completed a STEM challenge linked to a key stakeholder in the Sydney Science Park Development.

All students got exposure working in Design Sprint which involved a:

• Empathink Thank
• Ideation Blitz
• Prototyping Sprint
• Pitch Parlour

By the end of this each group had to pitch their solution and present their model to a range of judges. A huge congratulations to Stephanie Keo (Year 9) who was an integral part of the team who was awarded second place.

I would also like to thank Jocelyn Jabbour-Perez (Teacher HSIE) and Bede Schofield (STEAM Lab Coodinator) who supervised the students for the day.
