Episode 311: STEMM Solutions for Our Island
Join us to hear from the winners of our STEMM Solutions For Our Island Competition 2025!
STEMM Solutions For Our Island was open to grade 10, 11 and 12 students in lutruwita/Tasmania who identify as female, femme or non-binary, funded by Inspiring Tasmania. Entrants identified an issue in their local community or wider lutruwita/Tasmania, and pitched a creative solution.
Join Tegan Clark and Dr Olly Dove to hear from our talented winners: 1.) Abigail McCallum, a year 10 student at Sheffield high school on Tasmania’s north-west coast, who pitched solutions to combat the European rabbit plague in Kentish, Tasmania and 2.) 4 Taroona High School students located in Tasmania’s South (Maielle Schmidt, Maelys Mancini, Chloe Mongin, Olive Ransley) and their plan to tackle the invasive sea urchin in Tassie’s south east!
