Don’t be Afraid of Maths!

Danielle Dhu overcomes her fear of maths and learns that failure is just another learning opportunity.

Last month our Statewide team visited 10 primary schools in the Great Southern region, with our trusty steed Galaxy (pictured at St Brigid’s Church in Bridgetown). 🚗

At our Future Innovators Event, Year 5 & 6 students tackled a real-world challenge facing local industry: how to repurpose personal protective equipment that can’t be recycled. ⛑️ . Using the innovation process, students worked with Kleenheat mentors to define, prototype and then present their ideas. . This special showcase was an opportunity for students to use the new STEM skills they’ve learnt through our inaugural Kwinana STEM Network program, in partnership with @kleenheat.

More than 420 students found a way to continue to tinker, build and test their robots in preparation for WA’s longest running robotics competition, showing true resilience and determination – well done everyone! . . . #robocup #robotics #robotdance #robotolympics #stemeducation
