The challenge
Wet & Wild is a research challenge for Stage 3 level students, which integrates technology, research and language skills in the areas of Geography and Science. Students from around the state compete and are challenged to find the names of 16 organisms using mixed up sets of clues over four weeks.
Each Monday, students download 24 clues related to a wetland theme. The students will have until Friday to sort the clues to find and match with four wetland organisms. They may be plants, birds, animals or insects.
The challenge runs for four weeks. In 2025 the challege ran in Term 1, weeks 6- 9. This timing is under review for 2026.
Students may participate in class teams or group teams within a class, but each school is limited to three teams only.
