SGDs
What does SDG stand for?
Sustainable Development Goals
What is the first step of Design Thinking?
Empathise
What does STEM stand for?
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
How many steps are in the Action Task Card?
10
How many people should be in each innovation team?
3–5 members
Which SDG focuses on clean water and sanitation?
SDG 6
What does “Empathise” mean?
Understanding the people affected by the problem/their needs
Name one example of how STEM can help achieve an SDG.
solar panels, a mental-health app, clean-water testing, or using data to reduce waste.
What do teams do in Step 6?
Draw out their idea clearly.
What should teams choose before starting their solution?
An SDG
Which SDG is about climate action?
SDG 13
What happens during the “Ideate” stage?
Brainstorming and coming up with possible solutions
Why is STEM important for solving real-world problems?
STEM helps create practical and innovative solutions to real-world problems.
What happens during the “Test & Reflect” stage?
Share their idea, receive feedback, and improve it.
Name two ways to involve the community in the STEM Innovation Fair.
Invite families, bring in school leaders/local experts, partner with businesses/NGOs, promote through newsletters, or invite media.
Name three of the six SDGs available for this challenge.
Any 3 of SDG 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13
Put these in the correct order: Prototype, Empathise, Define, Ideate, Test & Reflect.
Empathise → Define → Ideate → Prototype → Test & Reflect
Give an example of a STEM solution for SDG 7 – Clean & Affordable Energy.
Solar-powered lights/panels
Why do participants have to tick each action box before moving on?
It helps them understand the process and develop proper planning/problem-solving skills.
What should a team include in their final design? Name three things.
A large drawing, labels/arrows showing how it works, who it helps, what it uses
Explain why the SDGs are important to young people and communities.
They help solve global problems and allow young people to take action in their communities.
A team discovers that students are wasting lots of water. Explain how they could use all five stages of Design Thinkingto solve this problem.
Empathise with students → Define water wastage as the problem → Ideate solutions → Prototype a water-saving device/app → Test it and improve it.
Which area of STEM helps create new inventions and solutions to problems?
Engineering
Explain how the 10-Step Action Task Card helps participants turn an idea into a realistic solution.
It guides them from understanding the problem through designing, testing and improving their solution.
What is the main purpose of the STEM Innovation Fair?
To celebrate and share creative solutions to real-world community problems.
