Schools Pilot Program:
Since the commencement of our Careers in Water Subcommittee we’ve had two events with local Adelaide All-girls School, St Mary’s College.
On 18th May, three enthusiastic members of our Careers in Water subcommittee volunteered at the St Mary’s College STEM Community Day. We joined universities, various trades, and other exhibitors for an engaging and sunny afternoon. This event provided a fantastic opportunity to interact with students, parents, teachers, and school leaders, showcasing exciting career options in the water sector and the benefits of joining our network. We gained valuable insights into how to effectively communicate with school versus university students. This will significantly impact how we promote careers in water to the younger community!
Our subcommittee was again invited to support our SA All-Girls School and their Leader of Learning and Innovation. The Year 7 incursion program celebrates diversity in the water sector, showcasing various job opportunities for young women. Students will explore design thinking to solve real-world problems. They also learn about the Junior Stockholm Prize and engage in a "10,000 Steps" challenge, highlighting the distance many girls walk to access clean water in developing countries. This program inspires future leaders and encourages innovative thinking processes for global water issues. Our subcommittee members volunteered their time to attend, share their stories and interesting ways to think beyond the classroom.
Dive into the future of the water industry as the SA YWP's present "Harness the Tide: AI Reshaping the Water Industry Landscape". This event is open to the whole water community of SA, not only YWPs. Don't miss this chance to be at the forefront of innovation and join us in shaping the future of water management through the lens of Artificial Intelligence. Register here.
