Our regular Stakeholder Briefings are a great way to find out more about the STEM ecosystem in NSW and meet colleagues and collaborators.
For our post-National Science Week briefing on Tuesday 12 September we reviewed the 2023 program and invited key program hosts to share their successful engagement strategies.
We were also pleased to include a presentation on VR technology from the VR Huddle Room, and found out about how to incorporate VR technology into STEAM programs.
For those who were unable to join us in person you can review the recording below.
Please note: The recording quality is not great as there was no microphone or camera in the room, but the slides and speaking still capture most of the content. We didn’t include the questions at the end which discussed content for VR technology, schools audiences and sharing dates of major events during the week to ensure no clashes.
Hosted by Emily Jateff, Chair Inspiring NSW.
