Year 7-10 students participating in UTS' Microbit Musical activity at Engineers Australia Experience IT Day 2019.

What will the day involve?

  • Explore different areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Design and Building through 1 hour hands-on activities such as:
    • Building games
    • Coding industry 4.0 robots to create towers of blocks
    • Measuring your own blood pressure, heart rate, and lung capacity, and discovering their importance in health using medical devices
    • Designing user experiences for customers of your own business
    • Investigating how cyber security attacks happen 
  • Meet women currently studying and working in STEM at UTS and hear about what they create, build and design 
  • Ask questions to a panel of students, academics and professionals 
  • Year 11 and 12 students can choose to spend the day diving deep into a Engineering or Technology project, using design thinking to solve real-world problems using technical skills. Projects could include:
    • Automation of repetitive tasks using 'Dobot' robots
    • Designing and prototyping infrastructure for populations living in diverse environments
    • Building an electronic data logger programmed to capture data from various sensors, establish a WiFi connection and synchronize data to the cloud.

No prior experience or knowledge is required.
