Exploring Engineering – University Engineer’s Club

March 9, 2017

On Wednesday the University Engineers’ Club (UEC)  hosted an “Exploring Engineering” showcase, where our students, led by Mr Steve Corcoran, were able to participate in various engineering-related activities encompassing the seven disciplines offered at UWA (mechanical, environmental, chemical, mining, civil, electrical and software).

Year 11 & 12 students Declan Duffy, Nick Hodgskin, Liam Ryan, Connor Meagher, Matthew Parrotte and Kushil Vaghjiani were an absolute delight to take on the excursion.

They were a credit to themselves, their parents and St Stephen’s School.

The highlight was making liquid nitrogen ice-cream.

Pictured below are highlights from the day.

Year 10 Girls attend Robogals Workshop

February 23, 2017

Today the Year 10 girls had the opportunity to attend a LEGO Robtotics workshop run by a group of university student volunteers arranged by Mrs Amy Aldous.

In this fun and educational class, students were shown the basics of engineering, robotics and programming using LEGO Mindstorms NXT kits.

The photo below shows students being a human structure.

The purpose of these workshops is to give girls a general idea of what engineering is about and to provide a fun, hands-on engineering experience. The workshops are free for schools and run by volunteers from UWA.
