During Term 2 and 3 the Year 7.1, 7.2, 7.9 and 7.10 Stem Extension
Experience (SEE) classes spent time learning and engaging in Science Technology
Engineering and Maths (STEM) skills. Throughout the experience they were
required to find innovative solutions to different real world challenges by
implementing the skills they learned along the way.
As part of the experience the students were also required to individually choose and research a problem and then design a product or technology to solve their identified problem. If there was already an available solution to the problem, then the students could choose to design a product that would expand or improve upon the available solution.
On the evening of Wednesday 11 October, 2017, the classes held their SEE Expo Night. The Expo was a great opportunity for the students to share their research work, discoveries and present their final products and technologies to a wider audience.
Each student was provided with their own space to create a display booth with unique display boards and a display model. From their booth, the students engaged with parents, friends and visitors, answered a range of questions and promoted their ideas.
The students excelled themselves during the course of the evening with some amazing ideas, solutions and technologies and were an absolute credit to Holy Spirit College.
