It takes a Spark!

last year, after 2 months working on Earthquake simulator projects during lunchtimes, 14 girls in year 9 and 10 from Marian Catholic College were ready to lead a presentation on their project at the It takes a spark conference Melbourne 12 Sept. The intent of the conference was to bring together Girls and their Teachers to connect with inspiring female industry role models, share their current school based activities and projects using an authentic sharing and experiential model, create networks of teachers and student teams, and solve social justice design challenges.  

This year the conference is scheduled to be on 12 August with a possible alternative date in term 3 due to the travel restrictions.

If you are interested in attending this conference please email Ms De Paoli depaolid@ww.catholic.edu au
