F1 race cars and submarines fast track kids to take on STEM
From the adrenalin of a Formula One racetrack to the silent depths of a deep dive, race cars and submarines were put to the test as more than 100 South Australian students got their gear on for the state finals of the F1 and Subs in Schools STEM Challenge.
Known as the world’s foremost student competition for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), the competition involves more than 22,000 students in 17,000 schools across 51 nations.
Featuring miniature Formula 1 race cars and futuristic submarines, students showcased their designs, planning and performance as they battled it out to be the best of the best.
Hosted by UniSA and supported by the South Australian Government, the Re-Engineering Australia (REA) program encourages South Australian school children to embrace STEM to ensure that Australia has the highly skilled, technical and creative minds that are needed for a productive and sustainable future.
The competition was held at UniSA’s Magill campus on 30 November and 1 December.
Vice Chancellor’s lunch for Emeritus Professors
A Vice Chancellor’s lunch for UniSA’s Emeritus Professors was held in early December. It was an opportunity for guests to catch up with colleagues and reflect on the year that was.
