Engineering and Information Technology UTS: ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN COLLABORATION WITH JUMBUNNA INDIGENOUS HOUSE OF LEARNING GALUWA ENGINEERING AND IT EXPERIENCE 30 June to 4 July, 2014 Galuwa means ‘to climb’ in the Gadigal language, and that is exactly what we wanted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high school students to experience at UTS. Indigenous students travelled to UTS to be a part of this aspirational initiative to discover what is like to study engineering and IT. Students engaged in ‘hands on activities’ and site visits in the Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Biomedical) and IT disciplines. THE PROGRAM IN NUMBERS: STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS: • 28 High School Students • 22 students from NSW and • 21 Boys and 7 Girls • 6 students from QLD • 3 High school Teachers • 2 teachers from NSW and • 1 teacher from ACT • Matiland Grossmann High School • Hawkesbury High School and SCHOOLS PARTICIPATING: • Ambarvale High School • Albury High School, NSW • Asquit Boys High School, NSW • Brisbane Water Secondary Collegue., NSW • Byron Bay High School, NSW • Cairns State High School, QLD • Dapto High School, NSW • Dubbo College Senior Campus, NSW • Emmaus College, QLD • Innisfail State College, QLD • Kotara High School, NSW • Lake Ilawarra High School, NSW • Macintyre Hich School, NSW • Maitland Grossmann High School, NSW Founding Donor: • Moree Secondary College, NSW • Muswellbrook High School, NSW • Riverstone High School, NSW • St Josephs College Banora Point, NSW • Suncoast Christian College, QLD • Tamworth High School, NSW • The Henry Lawson High School, NSW • Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College Tumbi Umbi, NSW • Wadalba Community School, NSW UTS: ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Evaluation 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% % Very Valuable % Valuable % Not Sure/ Undecided % Some Value % No Value Galuwa participants provided feedback about the program ...... • 61% strongly agreed and 39% agreed that it will help them to work harder and focus on their studies. • 68% strongly agreed and 32% agreed that it will helped them to understand what university is really like. • 82% strongly agreed and 18% agreed that it encouraged them to want to go to University. • 85% strongly agreed and 15% agreed that the program gave them ideas about career choices. • 71% strongly agreed and 29% agreed that the program motivated them to consider careers that need a university degree. • 89% strongly agreed and 11% agreed that Galuwa was very beneficial. • 96% strongly agreed that they would recommend the program to other Indigenous students. • After participating in the program, 93% of students are interested in studying a course in Engineering or IT. Student’s quotes: Jahryah Hart, Queenslan’s Innisfail State College: “The Galuwa Experience really impacted my thoughts for my own future and what I can really achieve for myself and for my younger relatives”. “The whole experience has really pushed me towards understanding a future career that I’d love to be part of.” Liam Begnell , NSW’s Wadalba Community School.: “The Galuwa Experience was an amazing program, “Going on site and seeing what an engineer does from day to day was really insightful. It’s only reinforced my desire to become an engineer. I would tell any Indigenous person wanting to become an engineer to do this program.” Corporate Donors: UTS: ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Post Galuwa All Galuwa participants will be monitored during their progession from high school to hopefully university and be invited to be part of the Deadly Jumbunna Collective. The Deadly Jumbunna Collective is a multifaceted program that has 3 main components in a mem- bership club for students in year 7-12 and that aims to: 1. Build aspiration and create a sense of belonging to a unique community of like-minded youth who want to go to university. 2. Formalise the relationship between several support networks that will collaborate with Jum- bunna staff to help motivate and inspire members to graduate from high school and go on to university. 3. Promote UTS Indigenous pathways, scholarships and student support services designed to encourage students to apply to UTS. This program will support UTS strong commitment to Indigenous education in order to increase current participation rate of Indigenous students by creating greater opportunity and access to higher education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. .

    2017 yenMANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude PLATINUM SPONSORS MANSW thanks the following sponsors for their support of the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSORS OTHER SPONSORS Pre-Dinner Drinks President’s Reception Sponsor Presenter Gifts Welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude A very warm welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference: “Adjusting Your Altitude”. In deciding to bring the MANSW Annual Conference to the Blue Mountains this year, I wanted our theme to be related to the mountains in some way. In particular, the graphic that we have used this year stood out to me as a graphic that epitomises our work as teachers. To teach effectively, it is not enough to explain our knowledge, experiences, to talk students through the journey they will go on, all the potholes they may fall in, how to navigate, how to plan for bad weather, how to move up the mountain… you have to walk it with them, and help them on the way, adjusting as you go. We are excited to be able to welcome many educators to our conference this year, and there are many notable events to look forward to. On Friday morning we have two excellent speakers: Mark Harrison and Angela D’Angelo. Mark Harrison has a background in Mathematics and Psychology and will speak to us about Growth Mindset, in particular how understanding student mindsets can deeply influence our effectiveness in the classroom. Angela D’Angelo, one of the recipients of a Premier’s Teaching Scholarship in 2016, will continue the conversation around Growth Mindset as well as discuss her journey over the last year.

It was an experience we can not gain anywhere else.” ISS2017 Scholar 2 View from the accommodation at Kincoppal School Contents Thanks To Our Supporters 5 The Scholars 6 Staff and House Parents 7 The Scientific Program 8 Social Events 10 Accommodation 11 The ISS Book & Lecture Videos 12 Educational Outcomes 13 In Conclusion 15 Appendix A: The ISS2017 Scholars 16 Appendix B: The Lecturers 18 3 The 39th Professor Harry Messel international science school, ISS2017: Future Power, ran from 2 to 15 July 2017, with a focus on the challenges, opportunities, research and technology of the world’s energy future. The theme incorporated science across a broad spectrum of disciplines, from fusion power and high-efficiency solar, to smart grids, energy modelling and biofuels, to medical physics, astronomy and scientific ethics. Over 130 senior secondary school science students attended ISS2017, representing every state and territory in Australia and seven overseas countries. They were treated to a unique lecture series by leading researchers, participated in hands-on activities in disciplines across science and engineering, and enjoyed a host of social events. The students were accommodated at Kincoppal and Kambala schools, neighbouring boarding schools on the shore of stunning Sydney Harbour, for the duration of the two-week program, which provided a nurturing environment for developing new friendships and bridging the many different cultures and backgrounds The feedback we received from the ISS scholars shows that, for many of them, their time at the ISS is transformational.
