[Catalist] WISE Women: Women in STEM & Entrepreneurship Showcase at Murdoch University

[Anna Pryor]

Murdoch University, together with the Australian Government, is pleased to host WISE Women - an event for Year 8-10 female students that explores women in STEM and entrepreneurship careers.  The event will be held on Friday 10th November 2017 from 9.30am-2.30pm at Murdoch University's South Street campus. This is the first in a series of related events that will be held in 2017 and 2018.

The showcase aims to demystify the career opportunities available to young women who study STEM subjects and how this knowledge and experience may be applied in several types of careers including research, education, business leadership and entrepreneurship. Students and their teachers will attend a keynote lecture from a successful STEM entrepreneur and participate in a Q&A session with a diverse panel of inspiring and high-achieving women with STEM qualifications. Students will also undertake practical STEM workshops whilst teachers have the opportunity to discuss women in STEM education with one of Murdoch's leading education researchers. Teachers can learn of the current research in supporting girls in STEM subjects and also provide their knowledge and experience to help inform the next phase of research. The attached flyer contains more information about our speakers.

Lunch is provided to all attendees and there is no cost to attend.

Regards,

Anna
