A Night of Achievements

At this year’s awards, STEM Hub was recognised at three levels:

• Winner, Campaign of the Year – taking home the top prize as the standout campaign for 2025.

• Merit Award, Campaign of the Year – ranking STEM Hub in the top 5 campaigns of the year.

• Education Category Nominee – placing us in the top 10 nationally.

To be recognised across three categories – and to rise to the very top – is a milestone achievement for STEM Hub.

A Proud Moment on Stage

When the announcement was made, Dr Jo Zimpel, STEM Hub’s CEO and Founder, stepped onto the stage to receive the trophy with pride. It was a powerful moment that captured everything this award represents – dedication, innovation, and belief in the potential of every young person to thrive in STEM.

With a room full of industry leaders, educators, and changemakers, the energy was electric. What began with the honour of a Merit Award ended with the unforgettable announcement that STEM Hub had won the overall Campaign of the Year.
