The They did what? Student video competition is back and students from across Australia are invited to help uncover inspiring stories of everyday Australians making a difference in STEM. The competition is shining a spotlight on voices and experiences that are under-represented in the usual narratives of STEM success.
Students from Foundation to Year 10 are invited to create a short video (up to 3 minutes) showcasing the STEM achievements of an unsung Australian STEM star. Classroom-ready resources are available, alongside materials to support students to participate independently. No fancy equipment needed, just creativity, curiosity and a great story.
Let’s celebrate Australia’s STEM community and inspire students to imagine their own STEM futures.
Free to enter for students enrolled in Australian schools
Win prizes up to $300
Entries close 16 October 2026
Information, entry requirements and classroom are resources available at: getintostem.edu.au/students/they-did-what-competition/
