Thanks to an amazing lineup of inspiring STEM professionals, our recent techtrails STEM incursion to Bunbury Senior High School made for an energetic, fun and inspiring day for students, teachers and presenters alike. It was wonderful to receive such positive feedback from Kelly Anderson, Deputy Principal (Academic Performance):
“Techtrails was a great opportunity for our students to connect with passionate and knowledgeable professionals from STEM related careers. The sessions students participated in today were engaging and gave them a glimpse into their own possible futures. Our students, living in a regional area, often have less exposure to these range of people and ideas. The room was buzzing at the end of the day, and I think techtrails will have a lasting impact on these students. Thank you W{“type”:”block”,”srcClientIds”:[“bcbfea15-fc32-457b-aef4-76d1b2e88ba5″],”srcRootClientId”:””}omen in Technology WA for bringing techtrails to our school.”
