St Aloysius College North Melbourne is a Club partner where we work to engage students in Rotary projects and activities. This includes assisting development of STEM capacity in students, in this case through the Science Experience program. It is a program of very cost effective and interesting science activities from a range of universities in Melbourne for students in middle high school.
Gabrielle Roberts attended an RMIT program on medical science and technology.
These are her comments:
Early this year I went on a trip to RMIT to participate in the Science Experience. On the first day we were put into 5 groups of about 25-28 that we would spend the next 3 days with. They people there were very welcoming and I became quick friends with around 7 people. On the first day we did 4 activities working in engineerical science. We worked with robots, VR, a lot of walking, and overall I learned a lot of things I didn’t even know about. The second day we went to their campus in Bundoora. There we learnt about medical sciences and got to try out some of their equipment. The third day was more working in our groups and finding out more about uni life. We listened to lectures and learnt about things that the people there actually invented. We got a pizza party, and that was it. It was such a fun experience and if I could, I would extend it. I met so many amazing people and loved everything.
