WA Students Dive into STEM with Google.org and Schools Plus
Over 150 students, teachers, and special guests recently gathered in Western Australia for a super cool STEM event. Hosted by Schools Plus and supported by Google.org, the day at Southern River College was all about exploring the exciting worlds of science, technology, engineering, and maths.
Kids from ten local schools dived into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) with introductory activities led by the Google team. They also saw some seriously impressive robots built by students at Southern River College and were inspired by Superstar of STEM, Dr Adelle Goodwin, an astrophysicist who studies amazing things like how stars get eaten by black holes.
Important guests like Federal Member for Burt, the Hon Matt Keogh MP talked about how important it is for everyone to have a chance to learn about STEM. This fun event is part of a bigger project – created following a $3 million grant to Schools Plus from Google’s philanthropic arm, Google.org – to give young people from lower socio economic areas future-focused opportunities like robotics clubs and competitions and learning to use AI. It's all about building students’ confidence and getting them excited about their future.
