What You Will Learn
Introduction
STEM careers are the fastest growing in the world, and some of the best paid, but there is still a shortage. This course seeks to not just introduce students to these fields but spark an interest in them that will last a lifetime.
Learning Objectives
Learn foundational knowledge in a variety of subjects and be able to apply these principles to independent and group projects and develop the specific language to be able to talk about these projects/topics.
Key Concepts
Creating and testing a theory, biodiversity and climate change, green technology, robotics, engineering and astronomy.
Activities
In every lesson students will do fun in-class experiments to help solidify new knowledge. These in-class experiments are supplemented by further incursions and excursions where students will gain hands on knowledge in a variety of areas and even undertake their own fieldwork around Sydney like real scientists.
