Army STEM Engagement Program

Parade College had the opportunity to welcome the Australian Defence Force on Friday 21 and Monday 23 February to conduct the STEM Engagement Program. A number of Year 9 and 10 classes, and the Year 10 Preston students, participated in the program.

The Army STEM engagement program is designed for young people in Years 8 to 11 interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects.

The program provides students with a virtual reality helicopter simulator experience and information about the exciting opportunities of a world-class career in the ADF for a diverse range of roles including communications, cyber, pilots, engineers, aviation ground crew, trades, and drone (UAS) operators.
