READ NOWJudge Andrew Taggart, former provost at Murdoch University, said the high-quality applicants would increase the presence of ESTEAM in the community.
“Having more students undertake the more challenging subjects such as physics, biology, maths and chemistry will improve employment outcomes in the region,’’ he said.
Five awards categories recognise achievements in ESTEAM education, science communication, citizen science, as well as an overall Young ESTEAM champion and ESTEAM Champion.
The award winners will be announced at the Peel ESTEAM Awards Ceremony at John Tonkin College on June 21.
Tickets cost $20, are available online and include limited food and drinks, live entertainment and a keynote speech from former Chief Scientist Professor Lyn Beazley.
