Inspiring innovative education
|
Our global economy is changing every day. Current jobs are disappearing due to automation, and as a result of these technological advances, new jobs are emerging. Therefore, it is crucial for students to adapt the way in which they learn, connect and interact. The Whitsunday STEM Challenge is a not-for-profit charity aimed at increasing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) participation by students in the Mackay, Whitsunday and Isaac regions. By developing our students’ skills through STEM, we’re providing them with the foundation to succeed at school and beyond. Whitsunday STEM challenge also connects with Split Spaces to offer Professional Development for teachers via the Futurepreneurs program. |
Experience the Challenge
We create experiences and competitions locally to bring together representatives from Mackay district schools and the greater regions in-conjunction with CQUniversity and Split Spaces to plan and deliver a variety of STEM-related events. These competitions provide invaluable opportunities for students to gain knowledge and experience in a variety of STEM and other subjects and for those who are passionate to launch their careers. These activities occur during the school year, including International Women’s Day in March and the Festival of STEM in June.
