On Wednesday 4 September, students from Gioia House participated in our annual STEM Gala Day with the Year 6 students from St. Patrick\u2019s College Strathfield. We began the day by hearing from a range of guest speakers, sharing their knowledge and experiences on how STEM can be used to solve problems and change the world. Students worked in mixed groups to design and construct a solution to their given case study following the design thinking process. A range of resources were provided that students could use to create their prototypes such as Makey Makey, Spheros, LEGO Robotics and craft materials. The afternoon saw students pitching their ideas to other groups, with some groups presenting their prototypes to all students and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a fabulous day where our Gioia House girls were able to collaborate with the students from St. Patrick\u2019s College to solve real world problems using STEM. They were able to forge new friendships that we hope will continue to flourish in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Reflections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On STEM Day, I felt we could all connect with all the students in a variety of activities. We were able to explore different forms of technology. I personally enjoyed the experience and would love to do it again.<\/em>
