Rising to the challenge

Almost 2000 students from 58 schools took part in the 2006 South Australian Science and Engineering Challenge in June, an event co-sponsored by the University of Adelaide. The annual Challenge, now in its 4th year in SA, encourages school students to explore science and engineering as a career. This year the Challenge attracted 60% more students than in 2005.
