WORKSHOPS
FOR EVERYONE
World of Immersive Learning
Presented by Yuliya from Holmesglen Insitute
Experience how virtual reality is reshaping education and engagement. Explore a diverse range of immersive learning experiences currently utilised across various disciplines in vocational and higher education.
Building Instrumentation For Experimentation
Presented by Colin Chapman
This session explores developing dynamic simulations coupled with physical devices via Arduino/Micro:bit microcontrollers in novel responsive designs. We'll examine electronic records that allow embedded simulations and linked videos of physical experiments, then apply heat and light sensors — thermistors and light-dependent resistors (LDRs) — to trigger output devices such as lighting or motors.
STEMeez Module Launchpad
Presented by Jigme Zangmo from Swinburne University
Be the first to experience our newest STEMeez hands-on modules before they go live. As part of our User Acceptance Testing, your feedback will directly shape the final learning experience. Explore, experiment, and tell us what works — this is your chance to have a real say in how STEM education comes to life.
What AI Reveals About the Human Capital We’re Missing
Presented by Aylin Cemiloglu from Monash Automation
This workshop highlights the importance of differing experiences in solving complex engineering problems. Students learn how AI LLMs work and how they're trained on biased data that excludes many groups. In teams, students design a wearable device to support students with disability — alongside two AI models attempting the same. Comparing outputs reveals the value of including less-represented voices in engineering, and shows AI is best used as a tool.
Dolphin Discovery: Real-World Marine Science in the Classroom
Presented by Matt Montemurro from Marine Mammal Foundation
Bring real-world marine science into your classroom. Through curriculum-based hands-on activities, students build marine science skills to better understand environmental concepts. In this workshop, Marine Mammal Foundation educators demonstrate how their incursion programs enhance student learning: become "marine biologists," identify individual Burrunan dolphins by dorsal fin nicks and notches, work with real sighting data, and reach evidence-based conservation outcomes.

FOR TEACHERS
Building AI Literacy Through Hands-On STEM Learning
Presented by Pathik Shah from Pakronics
This session showcases how teachers can introduce AI concepts through hands-on activities that build creativity, critical thinking and digital technologies skills aligned with the Australian Curriculum. Discover accessible classroom projects, professional learning opportunities, and scalable STEM pathways from Years 5 to 10.
