STEAM

Welcome back to Term 3 where we are going to be super busy this term.  

The brand-new news is that we have begun the new elective called Sustainability where students will be exploring the United Nations Sustainability Goals. Even though the elective is based in the Science faculty there is a lot that students will be working with STEM dispositions. The very first experience is where students will be presenting an argument based on the advantages and disadvantages of Sustainable Food in the world. Watch this space for more news coming. 

Even more exciting news is that we have our very first Mooroolbark College STEM team for the Tournament of Minds (TOMs) working away with the STEM challenge which was released by the TOMs committee earlier this month. The team is made up of one Year 7, a Year 8, three Year 9, and one Year 10 student. The team meets up twice a week. We are always looking for students to join the TOMs Club. 

We are looking for parents to join the TOMs committee as a judge. Please get in touch with if you are interested in joining as a judge. Please note training will be provided. 

Earlier in term 2 students in Innovate Science planned a rescue mission in the village of Pyuthan in Nepal.  

A special shout out to Shaan Monis who presented an excellent Rescue Mission delivering medical supplies. Shaan created a simulation showing the medical supplies being picked with the help of a Drone and then successfully delivered to the village. Enjoy the snips from the mission video below. 

Here are few additional snips from the rescue mission designed by students utlising Drone Technology.
