The Qld Virtual STEM Academy (NQ) successfully launched its 2021 courses last week with a record number of students enrolling (265 students from 32 schools) in the first round. Students from across Queensland, New South Wales, Northern Territory and New Zealand will be collaborating and solving authentic real-world STEM problems including Biosecurity, Biomedical Engineering and Cybersecurity. Schools and students interested in enrolling in round 2 are encouraged to email Mrs Wendy Bode (wbode1@eq.edu.au) as we already have a waiting list for some courses.
