About this event

There's a reason there's an M in STEM!

Find out how your high school maths topics directly relate to career paths in science.

Everybody knows that science, technology and engineering will continue to shape the world we live in. They will be needed to solve the problems current and future generations will face. But how does mathematics fit in? Why do you have to learn calculus? What does geometry have to do with anything? And is there really a reason for understanding statistics now that computers do everything for us?

If you are in Years 10-12, or looking after someone in Years 10-12, come along to discover just how important the maths you learn in the classroom is to everything from physics to medicine.

This 2 hour event will begin with you hearing from current pioneers in STEM as they detail how mathematics has shaped their careers. After which, there will be a networking Q&A so you can receive tailored advice and build connections with your future peers and potential colleagues.

Not sure which level of maths is needed for your chosen degree? Or do you have a major you want to take, but no idea what sort of career it could lead to? This is your chance to have all your questions answered!
