Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, arranged the reciprocal partnership through its STEM Professionals in Schools program. The partnership is supported by Curtin University including Head of the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences Professor Ian Fitzsimons, the WA Department of Education and the Pia Wadjarri Remote Community School, located about 330km north-east of Geraldton. Students have been in Perth learning about geology, radio astronomy, space exploration, meteorites, the planets and supercomputers, as well as visiting Scitech and Curtin's Centre for Aboriginal Studies. Lead researcher Dr Luc Doucet, from Curtin University, said the program blended Indigenous cultural knowledge with scientific thinking and the Australian curriculum. “The Wajarri people are the custodians of the oldest rocks on Earth that are widely studied by Curtin scientists,” Dr Doucet said. “By working together, we are learning valuable knowledge from the traditional owners who have lived on this land for thousands of years while also hoping to ignite a passion for science among the next generation as the future geology, space and science workforce.”
The worlds of robotics and automation have been picking up speed for some time now. But the pandemic has only fast-tracked the need for the next generation of talent to wield these tools. Organizations such as Illuminate STEM are leading the way for young blood to gain knowledge and fly the flag for robotics for decades to come. Terrence Southern, Founder, CEO & Executive Director at Illuminate STEM, joins this episode to explain how he taught budding robotics workers, how he started his company, and more. Plus, Terrence outlines his predictions for the future of robotics and automation. He explains that, however excited younger generations are about robotics, the eagerness to get involved in the industry still has a long way to go.

Reported by EdSurge, more than half of high schools now offer at least one computer science class, with many states now making computer science courses a requirement for high school graduation. But with computer science courses comes technology requirements that can affect representation. Economically disadvantaged students are still underrepresented in CS courses. As are our Latino students. And girls make up only 31% of these classes, too.

Join Dr. Wyndham and two Avon educators, Steph Duda and Sarah Tuttle, as they sit down for a conversation about the work they're doing to provide rich, hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) experiences for all 3,500 elementary students in our school district. One of the major reasons for the construction projects at several of our elementary schools over the past two years was to provide a more equitable experience for all elementary students, and the work Mrs. Duda and Mrs. Tuttle are leading has been made possible by the effort. Learn about how they're rolling up their sleeves to provide experiences that are not only helping students develop critical problem-solving skills, but for the in-demand STEM-reliant careers of the coming decades.

Into the STEM program at Wheat Ridge High School. An exciting and refreshing look at how just one high school STEM program is making a difference that could one day engage students to join the automotive industry. The Wheat Ridge High School STEM program along with their University of Colorado Denver partner will be building two hydrogen fuel cell cars for the 2017-18 school year. One will once again be a Prototype vehicle along with an urban concept vehicle. They will both be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. The competition, held annually in the Americas, Asia and Europe, provides a real-world environment for students to test vehicles they design and build themselves; with the goal of going the farthest distance using the least amount of energy. The Shell Eco-Marathon inspires young scientists and engineers to think about energy efficiency and offers them a platform to work on energy solutions in a practical manner. Wheat Ridge High School STEM is once again working towards having a Rover ready to compete in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge in 2018! The competition will be held in Huntsville, Alabama on April 13th and 14th. They have submitted a model of a NASA Human Powered Rover that folds into a 5’ x 5’ x 5’ space. Drivers must prepare for the physical demands of the race. Peddle Power. They took second place in the NASA high school competition in 2017. Talking points: Wheat Ridge High was contacted by the University of Colorado-Denver to build a joint program. The challenge was to see if a college level senior design class would work at the high school if they had help from an instructor and support from the college. Permission was granted from the school Principal to put STEM on steroids. STEM: Science | Technology | Engineering | Math They started with 16 students and currently there are 80 students in the program. Eight students were at AAPEX for their presentation at ASA-CARS. They compete in the Shell Eco-Marathon against other colleges. Keep in mind this is high school STEM. Competition is for fuel efficiency. In 25 minutes you need to complete a 6-mile course. The team has won twice in the last three years. Carbon fiber is used for the body. They have many divisions and special work teams that work on the project.
