STEM Equity Monitor
The STEM Equity Monitor is a national data report on girls and women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The Monitor reports the current state of STEM gender equity in Australia, and measures changes and trends.
We follow the participation of women in STEM through school, higher education, graduation and the workforce. Interactive data allows you to explore your area of interest or browse across different stages of the STEM pathway. It shows the high importance of parents especially mothers having conversation on STEM with their daughters.

Robogals Melbourne
Free Virtual Python Workshop
October 2, 2021
Come and join us on our extended online Python workshop!
Robogals Melbourne is holding a free virtual coding workshop during the holidays on Saturday, 2 October 2021 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. In the workshop, students will be introduced to the different types of engineering and their impacts on our daily lives through interactive Kahoot! quiz. Students will then take part in a series of coding activities that will introduce them to the Python language and develop their problem-solving skills, while exploring sophisticated coding concepts through several challenges.
We will also be providing new challenges for students who have participated in one of our previous Python workshops, or for those who have previous coding experience in general, so we highly encourage them to register for this extended workshop!
Students of all experience levels from Year 3 to 9 are welcome. We hope to see your students participate in this event!

Innovation challenge from Engineers Without Borders and University of Melbourne - students in Year 9-10 - a fantastic opportunity! Not to be missed - there are only 8 positions.
Program Details:
Over three days, students will work in teams to explore the social, economic and environmental implications behind technological innovations and projects around the world. The challenge is centred around a range of engaging hands-on and virtual activities to show students the importance of teamwork, communication and community consultation in problem solving.
The Innovation Challenge is hosted virtually, by the Engineers Without Borders University of Melbourne Chapter and is run by volunteers studying a variety of disciplines at different levels. Participants will get the chance to interact with current university students and gain an understanding of day-to-day university life, subjects and course pathways.
At the completion of the main challenge, students will present their team’s proposal to a panel of judges. After assessing all submissions and providing valuable feedback, the top three projects will be awarded prizes.
Schools are invited to either nominate up to eight students in Years 9-10 to participate in the program, or share the information with parents who can sign up students individually. Please note, if your school has participated in the program previously, we recommend sending students that have NOT previously participated.
The challenge will begin 10am Friday 26th November 2021 and will run until 5pm Sunday 28th November 2021.
There are no costs associated with this year's program.
Registration to close on Monday 25th October 2021
