The competition bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical innovation, highlighting the students’ ability to solve contemporary issues.
The National STEM Championship serves as a platform for secondary school students to flex their creativity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

In recent years, the competition has expanded beyond its initial academic focus. Through a combination of rigorous tests, hands-on challenges and mentorship, the NSTEMC invites students to flex not just their STEM knowledge but also their creativity, teamwork and communication skills. These real-world competencies mirror the demands of today’s professional landscape, and it’s clear the participants are rising to the occasion.
The winning team from NUS High School of Math and Science designed an autonomous delivery robot engineered to transport supplies within a specified radius.The students began their journey earlier this year, starting with the qualifying rounds in May. Over the course of several months, they tackled a series of theoretical and practical tasks, culminating in the presentation of their projects.
For Donthireddy Srithanvi from NUSH, the challenges provided valuable learning experiences. “They taught me a lot about problem-solving with a scientific approach and communicating our knowledge to a wider audience,” she shared. Besides NUSH’s autonomous robot, students from RVHS developed alternative thermal solutions that bypassed vacuum technology, while those from SST designed a hydrodynamic boat prototype aimed at reducing travel time and enhancing maritime deliveries. ACS showcased various earthquake-resistant systems through a scaled-down model, incorporating features such as mass dampers and seismic dampers.
Selecting the winner was no easy task, but the judges noted that the champions from NUSH stood out for their well-rounded achievements. “The winners were extremely well-versed on all fronts – from technical know-how and creative presentation to their poise under pressure during real-time challenges on stage,” Prof Chen said.
