Engineers encourage girls to follow STEM dreams

Yesterday, our Year 8 students were fortunate to meet with a group of young engineering students from the University of Sydney. These women are studying in a range of fields including software, biomedical, mechatronic and mechanical engineering. They each spoke to the students about their experiences of university life, the projects they are working on, and the programs they are involved in. They encouraged the girls to pursue their interests in engineering and consider it for their future career pathways. Having studied both Engineering and Coding units this year, our students found it very interesting to hear about the pathways these girls have taken since high school as they follow their passions in engineering.
