Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education. About the Science and Engineering Challenge
The Science and Engineering Challenge provides a pathway of memorable and fun experiences for young people during their years at school, through University and into the STEM workforce. The SEC closes the loop by providing training and resources for current preschool to year 12 teachers, and encouraging young people to consider a future career as a STEM teacher. The SEC runs a range of programs but focuses on inspiring students in year 10 to consider a future career in science and engineering by choosing to study the enabling sciences and mathematics in years 11 and 12.
