This year our STEM Educator Shang has been working hard with one of our partner schools to test an embedded #inquiry program. In Term 3, Year 8 students used their entrepreuneurial skills to design and test a real business idea. #WhittleseaTS #TechSchools #entrepreneurship

We have been making great use of our @RolandDGAus BN-20 Print and Cut in both our programs and STEAMengine makerspace. #WhittleseaTS #TechSchools #makerspace #printandcut #stickers #digitaldesign

Friday Fail: sometimes things don't work out as planned, but every mistake is a lesson learned! In this case, we learned to think a bit more about positioning and adding supports! 😅 #WhittleseaTS #FridayFail #TechSchools #failure #innovation #failfast #failtolearn

Some more impressive work from our STEAMengine students. Charlie has been working his way through the @SparkFun Kit with some really neat #electronics projects. Here he has coded a temperature sensor with an LCD display. Great work, Charlie! #WhittleseaTS #TechSchools #makerspace

Our #SmartCities after-school club has been busy working on building their own sensors. Students recently made and coded their first distance sensor that will be used to monitor water tank levels using light indicators. #WhittleseaTS #TechSchools #coding #sustainability

Last week we hosted the second networking event for the Whittlesea Business Network on behalf of @citywhittlesea. Honorary @JaalaPulford, opened the event and Dr Sanda McKechnie, spoke about opportunities to engage with the Tech School. #WhittleseaTS #TechSchools #community

One of our #STEAMengine students took on the challenge of lighting up this glass paperweight and boy does it look pretty. She measured, designed and then 3D printed the base, after which she inserted a red LED, attached a battery, and voila! Well done! #WhittleseaTS #TechSchools

Last week we had the lovely people from @thepushinc share their expertise and train our staff on the wide world of #synths and #electronicmusic. If you are a student or adult from the local community and would like to give it a go, get in touch. #WhittleseaTS #TechSchools
