Geelong Tech School Student Ambassadors
The Student Ambassadors share what STEM means to them.
What STEM means to me is being able to have the freedom to create whatever is on your mind and to bring something from a computer into the real world. When Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are all combined together something great is made.
I like to think of STEM as STEAM, because I think that art is just as important, and it is also the area I particularly like to focus on. To me, STEAM is all about learning and growing, and trying to understand a little more about our universe than what we may instinctively perceive.

I really enjoy STEM! I like that there’s an endless amount of things to find out, learn about and explore. I enjoy using what I am learning to solve problems, and having options to try something new if the first attempt doesn’t work as expected. It is both predictable and exciting - predictable in that there are formulas and methods and procedures to follow, and exciting in that you’re always challenging yourself and learning something new. STEM is a possibility to change the world.
I think STEM is very important for every aspect of our lives. Without STEM we wouldn’t be able to create things that can change the world.

I became a Geelong Tech School Ambassador because I want to use technology efficiently in the future and would like to know how to use it properly.
Learning about STEM means that I will understand more about technology because we have more and more technology in our everyday lives. I hope STEM will help me get a job that involves technology :)
STEM creates an outlet for me to express myself in a different way. At times, it can be easier for me to create or influence something through STEM. I love the idea of exploring new innovative ideas and creating the unknown through technology; as we see many important pupils do today. I can’t wait for my future in STEM and what I will create!
