Due to the global pandemic, Griffith University - Science on the GO team made some alternative arrangement in celebrating the National Science Week this year. One of the changes made was the yearly Gold Coast Science Trivia Competition, normally held in Queensland Academy.
Thankfully, the Science Department took the challenge to host this event for our Senior students which was made possible with the collaboration between the organisers and Mrs Wylie. Somerset students were very lucky to have the Ray Dining Hall as the venue for this event which includes some lollies and biscuits per table.
We saw 14 teams of the highest achieving scientists participate in the event, battling it out for the top MYP and Senior position. Following six rounds of random STEM questions and some heads and tails and fun facts shared by me during the break, MYP team: Ben, Alice, Tristan and Yuvi along with the Senior team: Chloe, Nada, Andre and Nick emerged victorious.
The trivia night was a complete success and a perfect way to end The National Science Week, validated by all the smiles and laughter that occurred during the event. The winning teams went home with a certificate and a gift bag and are looking forward to the next one in 2021 (whether it will be here at Somerset again or at the Queensland Academy).
