STEM Video Game Challenge

 

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, which are among the most critical disciplines required for businesses to succeed in the 21st century.

 

 

The Australian STEM Video Game Challenge provides students with a real-world opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in STEM to create games that are interactive, stimulating and meaningful.

 

The Challenge uses fun, creativity and innovation to develop students’ skills for living and working in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

 

The Challenge encourages skills like working collaboratively, problem solving, iterative design, communication and computational thinking.

 

Students create and design the user experience of a digital system, generating, evaluating and communicating alternative designs.

 

The Challenge is completely free to enter, and represents a great opportunity for upper primary and secondary students to engage in learning about science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in a fun and challenging way.

 

The games will be played by industry professionals as part of the judging and the winners will be recognised at a national level, and by international bodies within the global gaming industry.
