Student Achievement
National Youth Science Forum in Brisbane
19 June
Earlier this year, Zoe Newman (Year 12), attended the National Youth Science Forum in Brisbane, which is a not-for-profit program introducing Year 11-12 students to the possibility of a career in STEM, particularly science.
Zoe participated in a ten-day program with 250 other students, where they stayed at King’s College located at the University of Queensland. The program was a mixture of lectures and hands on events, where she met working scientists, inspected laboratories and participated in a careers expo.
To be able to attend, Zoe was supported in the form of a partial scholarship by Ballarat East Rotary Club, whom also supported three other students from Ballarat secondary schools.
Zoe’s full reflection on this unique experience, is featured in the current edition of ‘The Road’ publication, which you can read by clicking here:
