Young Women in STEM excursion Wk 10, Term 2 (4th July)
In Week 10 a group of Year 10 & 11 students attended the Young Women in STEM workshop at Adelaide University. Students took a deep dive into many STEM fields with hands on activities. The students exercised their problem-solving skills by calculating hearing ranges of different species & building working stethoscopes (Veterinary Sciences). They engineered the strongest crane (Civil Engineering) and experimented with shapes and trigonometry in a maths challenge. The students enjoyed interacting with students from other schools across the state and ask questions about a number of STEM related pathways. What a blast!
“I really enjoyed collaborating with my group to learn more about STEM at Adelaide Uni and potential opportunities post high school. ” – Dee
“The event was very insightful and inspiring, enabling a better view of our opportunities in the fields of STEM.” – Angeline.
Space Passport Excursion – SA Space Forum (Wed Week 1, 24th July)
A group of Year10/11 students went to the Adelaide Convention Centre on Wednesday 24th July (Week 1) to participate in the SA Space Forum Space Passport Program. ASMS students walked on the moon in the Arose Virtual Reality Lunar Rover, networked with industry professionals, gained contacts and information for Research project and discovered plenty of STEM career pathways within the aerospace field. Students were already buzzing and then upon commencing they got to see a real-life astronaut, Katherine Bennell-Pegg, which was the cherry on the top and very inspiring.
“It was really good, thank you Nikki” – Sam
