From March to June this year, our team embarked on an exciting journey with the BrainSTEM Games. During this period, we honed our skills in research, problem-solving, critical thinking, and brainstorming. Our group—comprising of Year 8 students Amber, Ava, Brooke, Emmy, Zoe and Isabella—focused on exploring food security and its connection to climate change in Australia.
We conducted a survey among OLMC students, and our results revealed that many people are not fully aware of how climate change impacts food security and affects some of our favourite foods. Based on our findings, we created an educational website to raise awareness on this important issue.
We had the opportunity to present our research and final product during a workshop, which was a highly rewarding experience for all of us. On Tuesday 10 September, we are excited to present our project at the STEM MAD Showcase.
