STEMIE – The Regional Showcase

Students present a selection of their work at their local Regional Showcase event October.

Once qualified, a team of up to six (6) students will represent your school.

Each school will be judged on the following:

  • Science Component – Formal presentation of the learning in the science activity.
  • Technology Component – Judging of the Arduino coded prototype linked to their chosen theme.
  • Engineering Component – Judging the function of the Engineering prototype
  • Mathematics Component – “Question and Answer” session of seen and unseen questions and demonstration of their dynamic spreadsheet.

The dates for each of the Regional Showcase events are as follows:

  • Allocation of judging timeslots opens in September; links will be sent to the schools contact teacher.
  • Judging in Late September and early October as per allocated timeslots
  • Emails to announce the winners of each Regional Showcase once all the schools within that region have completed the judging process.

Schools will need to have the following on the day:

  • Up to six (6) student representatives to present to judges, and their teacher to supervise.
  • Presentation materials for the science component.
  • Arduino coded Prototype for demonstration.
  • Engineering device to be tested and judged.
  • Dynamic spreadsheet and prepared answers to seen questions.
  • Access to the Zoom link that will be sent to the school contact teacher on an iPad, Tablet, mobile device or similar to allow judges to view prototypes.
  • Access to the Zoom link on a device that can share science presentation content and/or the mathematics spreadsheet.

Each school will be allocated a total on 1 ½ hours for their official judging timeslot, during which they will complete all assessment for the Regional Showcase event.


Students and their teacher will be required to be logged into the Zoom meeting for the duration of the judging timeslot.Schools that exceed six students presenting content or have content input from their teacher/s may be excluded from qualifying for the STEMIE Final. 
The team presenting content must not exceed six (6) students. Other students and teachers are welcome to watch the judging process and/or help with IT set up and holding devices as this is not considered STEMIE content.
