Congratulations to Ormiston College - winners of the 2025 UN-Registered SDG GIS Challenge! 🏆
Their incredible project, “When Strangers Take Root: Invasive Species on Coochiemudlo Island,” explored the impact of invasive plants on native ecosystems and biodiversity. Using the power of ArcGIS Online, Survey123, and StoryMaps, students collected field data, analysed patterns, and visualised their findings through an engaging and insightful StoryMap. Turning science, technology, and creativity into real-world environmental action.
👉 You can explore their amazing StoryMap via the link in the comments.
This challenge isn't just about competition, it's about empowering students to apply STEM and spatial thinking to solve real environmental issues in their communities, all aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
