STEM communication competition (Swinburne students)
Welcome to the inaugural workshop of the STEM Communication Competition at Swinburne University. This competition invites students to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams to tackle real-world sustainability challenges. Participants will create either an infographic or a research outcome solution aimed at increasing community awareness, promoting women in STEM careers, and advancing global safety initiatives.
Throughout the competition, students will engage in a series of workshops, including Adobe training for producing inspiring videos, infographics, and research presentations on sustainability issues. They will also learn data collection and visualization techniques. These activities are designed to enhance communication and digital literacy skills, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and bolstering employability.
Join us in shaping a future where STEM innovation drives positive change in our communities and beyond.
