UWA Research Week: Designing our Future Starts at Primary School

As part of UWA Research Week, the Faculty of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences is excited to explore how our cutting-edge research can contribute to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in primary schools.

Please join us for an informative and interactive day of workshops from a diverse range of disciplines. The aim is to provide you with fun, relevant STEM-based activities (at primary school level) that you can take back and implement in the classroom. It will also be a fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded educators from across WA.

Schedule

Registrations on the day will open from 9.00am (tea/coffee provided) for a 9.20am start, followed by a circuit of activities. Lunch and tea/coffee will be provided.

Activity stations will explore the following topics:

• Modelling our future with ocean floor offshore engineering
• Structures big and small
• Big data possibilities - from cosmos to oceans
• Technology tools in biomedical engineering and robotics
• Switching kids onto Einsteinian Physics at an early age
• Electric motors and renewable energy vehicles
• Coding in the classroom

Join us in inspiring today's students for the jobs of the future.
