AREEA’s Bright Future STEM program last week ventured to Outback NSW as it continued inspiring students about a career in resources and energy.
More than 100 students in the central western mining town of Cobar discovered more about the sector thanks to hands-on interactive activities and role models from member companies CSA Mine (Glencore) and Peak Gold Mine (Aurelia Metals).
It was the fifth event for the Bright Future STEM program as it sparks students’ interest in the rewarding and diverse careers offered in the sector and the future opportunities in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and maths).
This year the program has already been successfully rolled out across Australia, including Kalgoorlie (see related story), Middlemount (see related story), Melbourne’s Burwood Heights Primary School (see related story) and also Corinda State Primary School (see related story).
AREEA’s Bright Future STEM program will visit a dozen schools across Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania in 2019.
AREEA thanks its members who have participated with Bright Future STEM to date, and encourages other members to learn how they can get involved.
