This two-day conference will give insights into how and why girls choose and stay in STEM subjects. Hear from successful women with a range of careers that use their passion for STEM. Hear about their work, why they love STEM and how they have established successful careers from subjects that sometimes struggle to keep women.
Lectures and workshops covering;
Gene sequencing and disease treatment, Immune responses to tumours, the future of STEM careers, latest developments in visualisation as well as classroom focussed workshops covering biotechnology, future careers, genetics; Depth Studies, virtual educational resources and virtual reality.
The day is designed specifically to provide participants with current research on Biology related topics as well as hands on experience of activities directly related to biology and junior science.
Each program session will focus on women from many careers dependent upon study beyond year twelve, especially for students with an interest and passion for science and biology.
Each day accrues 6 hours of accreditation from NESA/Australian Teaching standards. Full details and syllabus links in the program below or at: www.diseasemuseum.unsw.edu.au
