Inquiry, Innovation, Ingenuity
The ASTA I³ Awards program is a collaboration between all members of the ASTA Federation, comprising each state and territory’s Science Teachers Association and the ASTA Secretariat, celebrating inquiry, innovation and ingenuity across Australian school students of STEM.
Our Federation recognises the importance of delivering a national awards program, whereby students who have excelled in their region’s STEM competition can progress to a higher level competition. National winners will receive cash prizes and a certificate.
Entry to the the I³ Awards is open to school students from Preschool to Year 12 who have demonstrated exceptional results in their state or territory STEM awards program, and is via nomination only through a state or territory Science Teachers Association (STA). Each STA may nominate up to seven projects across the senior and junior categories for consideration in the national competition.
For further information about your state and territory awards programs, please visit your local STA website.
