The Science Teachers Association of Queensland (STAQ) holds an annual competition for students to enter their science, mathematics and engineering investigations and projects. Every year QASMT enters outstanding projects from our students in the investigation and communications categories. Many Year 12 students (2021) entered their science and mathematics IAs and EEs. In 2021, we entered more than 50 projects for students in Year 7, 9, 11 and 12. Some of these projects were individual entries and some were group entries. We were recently notified that 44 QASMT students had received a prize in the 2021 competition.
