Exciting Developments in AI and STEM

I am thrilled to share some updates from the recent ICTENSW DigiTLL conference at the ACU in Sydney. I was fortunate to be granted a scholarship to join Mrs Keough in her work with this organisation in exploring the cutting-edge intersection of AI and education. Mr Maynard was also a participant, connecting virtually with the excellent and informative sessions and keynote addresses from Brett Salakas and Mr Tim Kitchen, leaders in the education sphere. 

We discovered powerful ways AI can enhance and personalise learning, making science even more engaging for our students. We also focused on the responsible use of AI, ensuring our students are equipped to navigate this evolving technology safely and ethically. 

Other facets of this excellent conference were our explorations with new technologies and STEM programs to bring to the classroom! Get ready to hear more about some truly hands-on, immersive learning experiences, such as ‘Home on the Moon,’ where Stage 3 students will be embarking on a project to design and construct a simulated lunar habitat. Imagine exploring lunar geology, designing sustainable living systems, and even creating your own lunar rovers!

We're incredibly excited to bring new enriching and innovative programs to our students, with experiences that will ignite curiosity, foster critical thinking, and inspire the next generation of scientists and innovators.

Enjoy these photos of the learning fun that has bubbled along in the Science room so far this term, with another fascinating year of incredible student discoveries with STEM and Science ahead of us in 2025!
