The LifeJourney team has been busy in 2019, traveling across the country sharing our resources and learning from colleagues in the field. We started our July with a trek to sunny Brisbane and the AAMT Bi-Annual Conference. We heard on several occasions from speakers including, Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel and CSIRO Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley, that maths underpins the foundation of all STEM careers of the future in areas like artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles and data analytics.
The South Sydney STEM Cup will have a new home this year in West Hoxton, NSW as Clancy Catholic College have taken the top School Prize for the 2019 competition by having the highest number of students complete the program. The runner-up is the inaugural 2018 champion Blakehurst High School, while Pittwater House rounds out the top places coming in third.
The Day of STEM is a national initiative, designed using the LifeJourney™ platform to raise the National IQ for STEM and Cyber Science. The program introduces and inspires all secondary and tertiary education students to pursue STEM careers and build the skills that will open up their future and connect them to the in-demand digital workforce.
