Day of Stem

https://soundcloud.com/abcsplasheducation/day-of-stem-with-rick-geritz
Click on the image above to listen to the ABC podcast on Rick Geritz, CEO of Life Journey and advisor to Barack Obama on cyber education. He is in Australia to help promote Day of Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) This is  a national initiative designed to enable every student in Australia to:
  • Test drive their  futures by self selecting from leading STEM organisations and living "the day in the life" of a stem leader.
  • Be mentored by a guide to help set a path for a future in STEM
This is achieved by students  participating in  a self guided interactive career simulation experience that aims to motivate, inspire and introduce students to real life projects.
There are a number of organisations involved, including the Collingwood Football Club which involves students looking at sports analytics.
 
Schools, parents and students can all be involved. Click on the image below for more information
