The They Did What? video competition is back and we’re calling on students from across Australia to help uncover inspiring stories of everyday Australians making a difference in STEM. This year, we want to hear stories from those who are under-represented in narratives of STEM success. Stories don’t need to come from people with big public profiles or fancy-sounding jobs – we want to celebrate the incredible STEM work happening every day, everywhere, by all kinds of people.
Students from Foundation to Year 10 are invited to create a short video (up to 3 minutes) showcasing the STEM achievements of an unsung Australian STEM star. No fancy equipment needed, just creativity, curiosity and a great story.
Prizes include $300 gift cards and the chance to be featured on The GiST website.
Entries close 27 November 2025, with winners announced 8 December 2025.

You can also find out more at the They did what? competition webinar on 4 September at 4pm.
