UTS Big Day In 2024

The UTS Big Day In excursion was a memorable and insightful experience. The presenters informed us on the many different career options that were available within the STEM industry, as well as opportunities straight out of high school or in the near future. Dr Tim Kitch from Adobe talked to us about the wonders of the Adobe Creative Cloud, Valessa Basic from ASD, companies like Animal Logic, WiseTech and Canstar Blue who spoke to us about the uses technology plays in their work. Mr Bowen from Microsoft also spoke to us about the wonders of AI such as Chat GPT and other softwares similar to it. He presented the advantages of these programs, and how they can assist with many different tasks in the workforce.  Representatives from the ADF also came and spoke to us about the numerous opportunities the Defence force has with the STEM field. 

Overall our most memorable experience was when we were able to walk around, visit stalls, talk to the presenters, compete in games and ask questions. Many different prizes were available to win, from the lollies offered at stalls to speakers and bluetooth headphones in the raffle at the end of the day. A very memorable experience!
