The students’ winnings include a computerised mobile science and technology centre, six CXC-approved science kits, GoPro cameras and Samsung smart watches for each member of the team, a Kindle Fire tablet for the supervising teacher and an all-expenses paid trip to Florida for the team leader and supervising teacher to participate in a seven-day STEM Ambassadors Programme in July. At that forum, they will compete in the regional finals and get the opportunity to win US$5000 for their school.
