South Sydney STEM Cup Contest Details

The South Sydney STEM Cup competition is back again in 2019 with some fantastic prizes, including work experience, for the top performing schools and students. Students explore STEM careers and test their maths skills by picking salaries for each of the Rabbitohs players, and balancing the team spend under the NRL salary cap of $8.5 million for 2019.

To participate and be eligible for prizes, schools and students need to complete the South Sydney STEM Cup program and submit their team worksheets. The school with the highest number of participating students and the student with the worksheet that comes closest to the real figures will take out the top prizes.
