The State Finals were held on Monday 2 November 2026, with 89 projects from 17 schools taking part. Students from Years 3 to 10
presented their STEM solutions to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations to a panel of industry judges.
Their ideas covered landmine detection, clean water, healthcare and support for people experiencing homelessness. Beaconsfield Primary School won three awards across two year groups, and Kingsway Christian College won two. Eaton Community College, from the South West, won with a project designed to connect regional communities with sport.
Chief Judge Gena Rattan confirmed the results.
