This project-based, in-curriculum program for Year 7 and 8 students aims to increase girls'  and teachers' interest and confidence in Engineering and IT. Projects have been co-designed with school teachers and academics in the UTS Faculty of Engineering and IT.

Structure and delivery

  • Delivered in class time over 4 weeks (approximately 8 hours in total).
  • Structured around project-based learning and design thinking
  • Students apply knowledge to solve authentic problems
  • Students use innovative technology and equipment to prototype solutions
  • Co-delivered by trained UTS Facilitators who are currently studying Engineering and IT and classroom teachers
  • Industry professionals are also invited as mentors to share their expertise and be role models for students. 
  • Students showcase their prototypes to other students and parents

Projects

Digital Technologies Curriculum 

  • Data Analytics - Students will work through various basic Data Analytic activities that will upskill them in data processing, analysis and visualisation. 
  • Games Development - Students learn about the intersection between games development and software design in an interactive creative way through the creation of a game. 
  • Cyber Security - Students will learn about the world of cyber security that is behind the screens of their computers and phones. 

Engineered Systems Curriculum

  • Drone technology - Students will learn about the technology and physics behind drones by building their own and using them to solve authentic problems.
  • Robotics and Automation - Students will investigate the future of Industry 4.0 through looking at autonomous machinery using a Dobot Magician. 
  • Electrical Engineering - Students will work with real equipment, problem solving and maths that an electrical engineer uses every day to create miniature solar panel circuits to power different items from phones to a miniature house. 
  • Civil Engineering - Students use civil and environmental engineering principals to design and develop a structure that fits the requirements of the project brief they have chosen. 

Workshops for Year 9 and 10

Our program for years 9-10 expands students' experiences with Engineering and IT through 4 one-hour workshops delivered in a full day of fun. These workshops are  delivered by UTS students and industry professionals to inspire confidence and interest in Engineering and IT.

The workshops are complemented by our 'STEM Circles'​, which is inspired by the World Cafe facilitation method and involves small booths facilitated by UTS and industry mentors. This is an opportunity to debunk the myths of engineering and IT, voice concerns, ask questions and hear about the different paths into engineering and IT in a supportive, relaxed environment. 

Collaborate with us!

Whether you are another university, a school, a not-for-profit or just someone who is passionate about STEM education, we are happy to discuss how we can collaborate to increase our impact.
