DXC Australia & New Zealand (DXC) sponsored The Game Changer Awards, which provides an opportunity for children in Years 3 to 10 to showcase their innovative solutions to world challenges using project based learning, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills, organisation, teamwork and presentation skills.
"We sponsored a fantastic initiative that nurtures our future generations love of innovation and technology. At The Game Changer Awards our Perth office walked students through the #metaverse before presenting the best use of STEM Year 9/10 award category," said DXC.
Encouraging young people into STEM careers
The Game Changer Awards were created in 2016 by the WA IT & Telecommunications Alliance (WAITTA), to encourage more young people into STEM careers. The Awards were first held in 2016, with only a few schools attending, as a proof of concept. Both students and teachers found the program to be rewarding, engaging and fun, and it was a resounding success. In 2018 and 2019, the Awards expanded to over 50 teams from all over Perth, with a few teams from rural areas.
The Game Changer Awards is not a STEM program, it is a STEM competition. The competition presents an ideal opportunity for children in Years 3 to 10 to showcase their innovative solutions to the worlds challenges (UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals), using project based learning, STEM skills, organisation, teamwork and presentation skills.
The awards welcomed submissions from teams and individuals, from all types of schooling backgrounds from all over WA. Schools will be able to showcase their STEM Programs and receive recognition for them. Teachers, students and parents will have the opportunity to engage, share ideas and start new friendships with people from other schools, companies that sponsor the program and VIP guests from the local government and Universities.
