The theme “Innovate & regenerate: STEM solutions for resourcefulness”, reflects our daily lives in a myriad of ways, from repairing what is broken to repurposing what is old, and rethinking how we use materials. It invited fellow STEM educators to put on their creative thinking caps to design lessons that foster resourceful and innovative mindsets that encourage students to be active agents in creating strong and sustainable communities of change.

We would like to congratulate all 32 teams from 34 schools for their impressive lesson ideas.
