Twenty-five young STEM leaders - Fifteen schools - One incredible day!
Recently Charles Meadows from Year 10 represent Sacred Heart College and Ballarat Tech School at the inaugural Tech Schools Victoria Student Leaders in STEM Forum.
Held at the Royal Society of Victoria as part of Inspiring Victoria’s National Science Week celebrations, the Forum brought together student delegates from 15 Victorian schools to develop their leadership, build connections and engage with STEM professionals and other young leaders.
Students met an extraordinary group of senior colleagues, including Victoria’s Lead Scientist Amanda Caples, university professors and Royal Society Fellows. They also heard from the Victorian Student Representative Council about student voice and how young people can use it to influence decisions and create change.
As one of six Ballarat delegates, Charles embraced the opportunity - contributing to discussions, asking thoughtful questions and building connections with their peers and STEM professionals. It was wonderful to see the confidence and leadership skills developed through the Ballarat Tech School Student Leadership program come to life in this state event. Well done Charles!
