Crew of 50 PLHS Girls Experience “STEM Horizons”
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of Week 5 saw over fifty of our female students being inspired by the amazing HerTechPath STEM professionals as they delivered their three-day STEM Horizons program at PLHS.
This amazing initiative is delivered once a year in one school by HerTechPath, a volunteer organisation that inspires, connects and supports girls and women to realise exciting career pathways in tech, digital and cyber.
Our students participated in workshops focusing on a range of STEM-related topics including robotics, rockets, radars and signalling, shipbuilding, cybersecurity, biomedical engineering, and coding. The HerTechPath volunteers were overwhelmed by the innovative and inventive approaches our students came up with as they were immersed in experiential learning.
PLHS is extremely grateful to all the volunteers in attendance this week, and the program’s funders, the Department of Education and BAE Systems. It is expected that following this experience, the participating students will establish a lunchtime robotics and coding club.
The Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 participants demonstrated our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Inclusion across the three days. All experienced new connections to learning from inspiration role models and tried new challenges fearlessly and enthusiastically.
