20/2/2013

0 Comments

 
Henk Korteekaas (RC of South Launceston) is seeking Volunteers for the Science & Challenge, an outreach program aimed at changing student’s perceptions of science and engineering, through team-based competitions that bring up to 257 students from 8 different schools together on each nominated Challenge day.  By participating in the Challenge students see that science and engineering involves creativity, innovation, problem solving and team work. Last year a total 1,600 students participated from 41 schools in Tasmania; 17 private and 24 public.

Volunteer Rotarians and Engineers through Engineers Australia Tasmania Division in conjunction with University of Tasmania, play an important role as judges and mentors in the Challenge. Volunteering is an opportunity to encourage school students to consider a future career in science and engineering by choosing to study subjects such as maths, physics and chemistry (the enabling sciences) in years 11 and 12.

Volunteering can be for one or two days. The enthusiasm shown by schools is wonderful; we anticipate full capacity of 8 teams competing per day.

Volunteers can register their interest online here.


The 2013 Tasmanian Challenge Series heats will be held on the following dates in Launceston:

·     11th & 12th  April at Launceston Christian School.

To find out more about the Challenge, attached at the top of this story in case you are not familiar with it.
