Throughout Term 1, 20 of our Year 8 students visited the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences to participate in ABCN’s Full Steam Ahead program. During this program, students collaborated with industry professionals from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia to explore career pathway opportunities in the STEAM field.
There were 9 Schools from across NSW participating Face 2 Face and 5 Schools online in VIC and WA. A Total of 280 students engaged in the Full STEAM Ahead over a four-week period. We are very thankful to CBA for helping us make this happen. The Powerhouse Museum staff were amazing with their coding education. We were even more excited that we could run this Program Face 2 Face.
Students further developed their coding skills and design solutions to a real-world problem. Students attended the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences to bring these designs to life in the Hackathon event. A hackathon is a design sprint-like event, in which often computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, product managers, project managers, domain experts, and others collaborate intensively on software projects.
Thank you to Mr. Andersen, Mr. Attard, the Commonwealth Bank, ABCN and the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences for their incredible work in supporting our students success.
