Auburn Wins First Place at the Science and Engineering Challenge
We are proud to announce that Auburn High School has won first place at the Science and Engineering Challenge, coming first among a strong field of independent and government schools competing across two exciting days of events.
The event, a nationwide STEM program founded by the University of Newcastle in partnership with Rotary Clubs and Deakin University, brought together Year 9 and 10 students to put their science, engineering, and technology skills to the test.
Our team of students took on a variety of hands-on challenges, including designing an earthquake-resistant tower, constructing a bridge, delivering electricity to a simulated city, and many more engineering-focused activities. Throughout the day, they showcased outstanding creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving under pressure.
Their impressive performance secured the highest overall score, earning our school the top place among all participating teams. This achievement means we now have the opportunity to compete at the state final, with the chance to qualify for the national competition later this year.
Congratulations to all the students involved for representing our school and demonstrating our DARE values with such skill and enthusiasm!
