Mr Jaswal accompanied a number of his Year 12 Software Engineering and Information & Digital Technology students to the 2025 UTS BiG Day In at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Broadway campus.
Presenters included Google, Microsoft, Woolworths, ADF Careers, Adobe, Wisetech Global, Canstar Blue, Westpac, Australian Signals Directorate many more.
The event has helped thousands of students explore where a career in technology can take them. The very first BiG Day In event was held at UTS in Sydney for 220 students (approximately 160 UTS students and 60 high school students) in 2012. The BiG Day In is an event designed for students by students – it was designed by two interns at the ACS Foundation who had a brief to develop an event that they and their peers would like to attend. The biggest of our BiG Day In events is held at UTS. It is so popular that the Great Hall is filled to capacity (850 school students).
Between 10 – 12 BiG Day In events are held nationally each year with approximately 6,000 – 6,500 students attending. More than 40% of attendees are female students, which is more than twice the industry average. By the end of 2018, approximately 30,000 high school students had attended a BiG Day In event somewhere in Australia.
