Students in Years 5 – 10 will have 6-weeks to complete a STEM-based design sprint focused on challenges posed by bushfires and the Australian bushfire management sector. Teams will select from a set of 3 scenarios and design a solution presented either as a 90-second video pitch or poster.

  1. Understand bushfire consequences.
  2. Develop STEM skills.
  3. Discover careers in bushfire management.
  4. Engage with the community & raise awareness.
  5. Win prizes for your school.

Free Teacher Resources

There is a comprehensive set of resources that have been developed by the Fire-Ed Up team that are available from the Fire-Ed Up website.
