DATTA Vic and Banyule Nillumbik Tech School are teaming up to deliver the Success with Systems Engineering Masterclass program during the September school break.

Systems Engineering offers a great way to deliver STEM learning opportunities that equip young people with the skills they'll need for a global, technology-driven and flexible future.

However, Victorian schools are facing barriers to successful delivery, including dropping numbers of student enrolments at VCE and a lack of qualified teachers in the Design & Technologies learning area.

Our Success with Systems Engineering program has four aims:

• To upskill teachers from other STEM areas (Design & Technologies, Physics, etc) to deliver engaging and relevant Systems Engineering programs

• To support schools who are struggling to recruit Systems Engineering teachers
  

• To explore ways to attract and retain a more diverse cohort of students in Systems Engineering
• To offer support to schools to set up VCE Systems Engineering as a senior subject

Registrations are open now to participate in this teacher masterclass, which will run in the term break from 18-22 September

Numbers are strictly limited, so register early to ensure your place.

Morning tea and lunch each day are served, and all resources are provided.

Feedback from participants of our 2021 Success with Systems pilot:

• The masterclass covered all the requirements to be able to know how to begin teaching VCE Systems.
• A Lot of practical demonstrations and hands-on activities to develop skills for teaching
• Practical demos tuning us into having a go! The challenges throughout were pitched at the right fundamental level.
• Great strategies for how to teach complicated topics
• Was amazing! I learned so much about course content in regards to VCE and I enjoyed learning the components of systems and coding.
• Very well presented and totally engaging

Thanks to the Department of Education for their support for this event through their Strategic Partnership Program
