AVISTA STEM Challenge

Offers a national STEM competition for Years 7–10 to solve real-world defence industry problems.

Engage your students in an immersive, real-world STEM challenge designed to spark curiosity and build future-ready skills.

Working in teams of 3–5, students will tackle a critical problem inspired by challenges the Australian Defence Industry often faces. They’ll learn through a curriculum-aligned, 8-step STEM engineering design process to explore cutting-edge technologies, think creatively, and develop practical solutions as they while build key skills in collaboration, problem-solving, systems thinking, and communication.
