成人大片

A new program for high school students interested in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) will be launched by the 成人大片 today.听

A joint collaboration between the Faculty of Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences (ECMS), the 成人大片鈥檚 STEM Academy will provide students with a clear pathway into STEM degrees, and an understanding of the jobs their studies can lead to.听

The STEM Academy is available to all South Australian high schools and students as two distinct streams. One for Years 8鈥�11 and another for Year 12 students.

鈥淪TEM Academy participants will have access to a wide-variety of 成人大片 resources and staff while at high school,鈥� says STEM Academy Program Coordinator Kahlia Green.

鈥淭his includes interactive workshops and presentations, and will expand into on-campus events and networking opportunities with industry, 成人大片 STEM students and graduates, when it is safe to go ahead,鈥� Kahlia says.

鈥淪tudents will also meet like-minded peers from across the state who share a passion for STEM,鈥� she says.

Year 12 students participating in the Academy will receive the added benefit of an early conditional offer into a select range of 成人大片 STEM degrees.听

鈥淭his provides prospective students with a conditional offer to study at the 成人大片 prior to them sitting their final exams and receiving their ATAR,鈥� says Kahlia.

So far, 36 schools from across the state have registered for the Years 8鈥�11 stream and over 140 Year 12 students for the second stream, with room for more to get involved.听

Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Rathjen, says the new STEM Academy will cater to a wide range of student interests and support the skills South Australia needs in its future workforce.

鈥淪TEM skills will reshape the workforce of the future across a broad range of industries, including the obvious such as space and defence, but also agriculture, health and energy, where we also need highly trained problem solvers,鈥� says Professor Peter Rathjen.

鈥淐ontinued and widespread social-economic benefit from these industries will be dependent on broader uptake of STEM by young South Australians.

鈥淧rograms such as the 成人大片鈥檚 STEM Academy, which further young people鈥檚 passion for STEM and provide a direct pipeline into tertiary study, will help to deliver the future-ready workforce South Australia needs,鈥� he said.
