WOMEN IN STEM

Working Towards Careers in STEM

Five Kew High School girls made their way to Quantum Victoria to participate in a Year 9 – 12 statewide Women in STEM event on Monday 29 May. Celebrating women in the area of STEM, our girls listened to the pathway of Kristin Lyons, a prominent female role model. She spoke of her role as Chief Information Security Officer at Australia Post and her involvement with Cyber Security.

For the remainder of the day, students participated in five themed activities: Coding and Arduinos, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Advanced Materials, Robotics and Engineering and Cyber Security. The girls were engaged in all activities and are working towards careers in STEM for the future.
