Ansto Hackathon
Wow, what an incredible, crazy, hectic, awesome Science Week the ANSTO Hackathon team (Vivienne Dos Santos, Isabella Nunes, Sarah Jansz, Gemma Quinn, Mrs Smith and Ms Harris) has had!
The ANSTO Hackathon is a National STEM-based competition. We spent 3 days hacking away at the problem of food waste, jumping in and out of meetings with STEM and industry mentors, attending webinars, working as a team remotely across platforms like Zoom and MS Teams, testing out our ideas with community members and putting in long hours into the night to get it finished. The final product was a 4 minute pitch of our solution to solving food waste at home, a multi-feature app, which you can see below.
We competed against schools all around Australia and just missed out on a spot in the top 4 but were awarded an Honourable Mention!
It was an absolute pleasure to see the enthusiasm, hard work, commitment, problem solving skills and teamwork that the students put in. The experience they gained from this is fantastic!
Well done on your amazing effort girls!!
