Oliphant Science Awards
Oliphant Science Awards
The Oliphant Science Awards are a wonderful opportunity for our St. Thomas students to develop their interests in science through a competition with a range of categories to suit a wide variety of abilities and interests. Categories include: Computer Applications, Games, Multimedia, Models and Inventions, Photography, Inquiry, Writing, Computer Programming and Robotics.
The Oliphant Science Awards stimulate students and enable them to;
- Undertake and report on scientific investigations in real life settings.
- Explore their interests, skills, talents and creativity.
- Develop their science knowledge and understandings.
- Show their work to a broader audience.
- Motivate themselves to conceive and complete an independent project.
- Involve themselves in scientific and technological discovery and the application of these processes and knowledge to themselves and their world.
