Yr 9/10 STEM class

What can we do to enhance this???
- Entrepreneur  choice subject (yr 10 level, leads on from current STEM course at Yr 9).
- digital literacies curriculum in draft form at the moment for SACE, how could we utilise this in stage 1 in the future.
- what can we do with Maths and Science Curriculum? Could we do it in 3 terms? Then have a STEM term??
- encourage links between other faculties: home ec linking with Ag, Art/tech - jewelry making, other links??? Needs to be questioned in whole school STEM T&D
- further develop robots into higher year  levels, done in Yr 8 what about Yr 9 and 10. Tonsley Campus has some great robotics stuff.
- integrate STEM snippets into our teachings]]> 2017-06-05 11:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kirsten_wissell537/u5p4h1o1xx09/wish/175192975 kirsten_wissell537 https://padlet.com/kirsten_wissell537/u5p4h1o1xx09/wish/175193038 - Upstairs W and S area.
