Did you know that 75 per cent of the fastest growing occupations now require STEM skills and knowledge?
STEM education is the learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in an interdisciplinary or integrated approach.
As part of science week last week, our School welcomed STEM professionals into their classrooms. Students even participated in a virtual classroom discussion with scientists working in the space industry.
The Year 12 students were treated to a two-hour presentation on Spray-On-Skin by the renowned Professor Fiona Wood today.
Professor Wood’s greatest contribution and enduring legacy is her work pioneering the innovative ‘spray-on skin’ technique (Recell), which greatly reduces permanent scarring in burns victims. Professor Wood patented her method in 1993 and today the technique is used worldwide.
Spray-on skin is a patented skin culturing treatment for burn victims, developed by scientist Marie Stoner and plastic surgeon Dr Fiona Wood. Professor Wood’s treatment is under ongoing development.
Thanks to our innovative technology Carramar Year 12 students could watch the presentation live using our extended classrooms.
