25.01.2022 Our next overview from last week’s innovation challenge presentation day comes from our two Korowa Anglican Girls' School teams. Team One designed an app called Breasti - this app uses AI to help women to detect any changes in their breasts that could indicate breast cancer. Team Two created an app that assists people in their 30 and 40’s suffering osteoarthritis. #medicalapps #breastcancer #osteoarthritis #11thinnovationchallenge #korowaanglicangirlsschool

25.01.2022 Here are our first two overviews from our 11th innovation challenge presentation day yesterday: Bethlehem College Ashfield looked at creating a space research base on the moon of Titian. This team certainly took us to outer space with their presentation. We are so excited they were able to join this #innovationchallenge because it meant we had our first ever NSW team! They will even get to present their project next year at COSPAR conference next year. Next is Mentone Grammar. This team designed a patch and app that controls the temperature of your pillow. After their presentation, others were asking where could we get it! It’s certainly a product that I know many here in Australia would love. #stemeducation #futureofstem
