This year, students from all three campuses of Concordia College entered the Oliphant Science Awards statewide competition. This competition involves students engaging in scientific investigations, including models and inventions, multimedia, science inquiry, science writing, games, coding and programming, crystal growing and photography.
On Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 August, students displayed their Oliphant Science Awards at Science Alive in the Adelaide Showgrounds. The great work of students was on display for all to see.
Congratulations to Chase 1OL, who has been selected to receive a prize for his game 'The Space Chase'. We look forward to providing more information on Chase's prize when the final prize placings are announced.
