Centre researcher Dr Rachel Pepper, one of QUT’s academic mentors, is helping QUT’s Future You STEM Summit for high-achieving teenagers to hit the road for its very first visit to Cairns, Bundaberg, Mackay and Toowoomba.
More than 50 local Year 11 and 12 students across the four locations will take part in tailored summits from November 30 to December 3, with a focus on STEM innovation and entrepreneurship.
They’ll get to work with visiting QUT researchers and current QUT students on real-world environmental and technology challenges and gain first-hand inspiration for STEM careers.
The popular conference-style summit is held in Brisbane annually for senior school students, and this year expanded to make a successful regional debut in Townsville during the September school holidays.
