STEM Opportunities for Secondary School Students

If you are curious about the world and how things work, a career in STEM or engineering might be for you! There are two opportunities currently available to find out more about the industry and would be of benefit for students in Years 7 – 10.

Engineers Australia’s Experience it!

Tuesday 27 September – hybrid delivery with online sessions + on campus at UTS

If you like designing solutions to problems, want to contribute to society and make a difference in the world – come and see what engineering is about! To be delivered in a hybrid format with online sessions and on campus at UTS, female students from Years 7 – 10 in NSW and the ACT are invited to participate in a full day of experiential engineering, organised by Engineers Australia Sydney’s Women in Engineering Society. The day will also feature inspiring collaborations between six universities and six engineering businesses. For more information, please contact stemnsw@engineersaustralia.org.au.

Engineers Australia Portal for Secondary Students

Engineers Australia knows that many of the most successful engineers weren’t merely forged while studying – they began their engineering journey while young, eager and full of possibility. Perhaps your interest and aptitude in science and maths has guided you to engineering. Maybe you love designing and building or have ideas that will make the world a better place. You might even be driven to engineering by a cause you believe in, such as feeding the hungry or cleaning the world’s oceans.

Engineers Australia has partnered with Australia’s Chief Scientist to develop the STARportal.edu.au, Australia’s first centralised national portal for exciting and engaging STEM activities from around the country.

No matter how you arrived at engineering, know this: as an engineer you will face rewarding challenges, work with brilliant minds, put their skills and talents to great use and shape a future where tools, vehicles, structures and cities are more functional, efficient and accessible.
