The Stempowered Women in STEM Exhibition’s inaugural launch was at the Banyule-Nillumbik Tech School. 

​

 

The exhibition was designed to offer secondary school students unique opportunities to engage with and learn from nine distinguished women in various STEM fields. The diverse array of disciplines covered included games development, environmental science, engineering, cancer research, nanotechnology, and more. Students not only had the privilege of hearing from these accomplished professionals but also had the chance to witness cutting-edge technologies and innovative ideas in action.

​

As part of this travelling initiative, each participating Tech School spotlighted a tenth woman, aptly named and profiled as a local ‘shero.’ This thoughtful inclusion aimed to celebrate and showcase inspiring women from the immediate community, fostering a sense of connection and aspiration among the local secondary school students.
