Every year, the students of Open Access College eagerly participate in the Premiers Reading Challenge STEM Design Competition. This competition offers them an opportunity to showcase their creativity and understanding across three main themes:

- This year's new theme: Green Hydrogen
The competition received an overwhelming response with a total of 3,335 entries submitted from all across the state. From this pool of talent, the judges carefully handpicked 38 exceptional entries across various age groups.
Open Access College takes immense pride in announcing that we have three college winners, with two of them achieving success in multiple categories. Please join us in congratulating the following students:
