<p>Launched in 2018, the Game Changer Challenge has become an annual event open to our 2,200+ schools and 823,000 students across NSW. The challenge is designed to make strong learning and teaching connections to the NSW syllabus specifically in the area of developing general capabilities such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication and problem-solving. The challenge also provides teachers with an opportunity to gain exposure to the design thinking process and includes teacher resources to introduce this creative problem-solving methodology into the classroom.</p>
<p>All schools are invited to form a team of six students and two teachers and apply to participate in the 2019 challenge which will be held in Sydney during Education Week (5 – 9 August 2019).</p>
<p>Full event details will be available from April 1 on the <a href="https://education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/education-week/game-changer-challenge">Game Changer Challenge </a>webpage.</p>
