The annual event organised by online education company ClickView showcases student's creativity and imagination, with inventions of any type, size or functionality welcomed.
Last year's winning entries included Safe-N-Sea, a wristband with GPS tracking, signal button and a whistle to prevent drowning injuries on Australian beaches and Bin It Right, a convenient, simple and easy to use app which uses photo recognition to identify and solve the everyday problem of waste disposal.
ClickView CEO Edward Filetti said the competition was a great opportunity for students to put their creative skills to the test, particularly those living in areas with extended lockdowns or restrictions.
"Great innovation often stems from challenging situations and we want to help bring out the best in students by fostering their creativity and giving them a platform to showcase their ideas and creations," he said.
"This competition is a great opportunity for students to practically integrate many of the skills they learn at school and to also engage in critical thinking and problem solving."
Entries open on Sunday, August 22 and close Friday, September 17.
The winners will be announced in Term 4.
