What an incredible STEM MAD National! A heartfelt thank you to the entire Catholic Education South Australia team for so generously hosting us this year — your hospitality, organisation and spirit made the event truly special.
​
We’re also deeply grateful to the many teachers, school leaders, families, volunteers, and of course the amazing students whose creativity and dedication brought the showcase to life. The talent and innovation on display from every corner of Australia was nothing short of inspiring.​​​​
