National Final 2019

Congratulations to the 2019 National Final winners from James Ruse Agricultural High School in NSW!

After over 100 days of competition around Australia, the winning schools from each state went head to head for the annual National Final of the Science and Engineering Challenge (SEC) in Bunbury, WA on Friday 25 October.

James Ruse Agricultural High School from NSW took home the trophy and earned the title of the 2019 SEC National Champions with a score of 1248 and a bridge that survived until the legendary Bridge Buster. The team competed earlier in the year at Sydney Olympic Park in March before their qualifying win at the NSW State Final held on campus at The University of Newcastle in August.
