Biomedical engineer Jordan Nguyen has joined Origin Energy’s “littleBIGidea” as head judge and ambassador for the competition’s fourth year of fostering creativity and innovation in young Australians.
“I am passionate about encouraging creativity and innovation from an early age to move towards being the great problem solvers of our future,” Dr Nguyen said.
“So I’m excited to be involved with a competition that champions young Australians, providing them with opportunities to succeed and realise their own potential.”
Budding young inventors from Year Three to Year Eight have until September 15 to submit 200 words or less about their amazing creation.
The top 12 ideas will win their creator $1000, participation in a design workshop and support from an industry mentor to help further develop their idea. The best invention in each of the three age categories will win their creator a trip to NASA in the United States.
