13 MAY 2022 It Takes a Spark Conference

On May 4 the Year 7 and 9 Ignite girls attended the It Takes a Spark! STEM Conference aimed to inspire and engage forward thinking students, teachers and leaders in STEM.

The intent of the It Takes a Spark conference is to bring together students and teachers to connect with inspiring industry role models, share their current school based activities and projects, create networks and solve challenges.

The girls participated in a 'Can it Fly?' activity where they tested how much weight could be added to an already built aircraft. The Year 7 team were able to place the most amount of weight on the plane, taking out the title for the conference!
