On Friday the 11^th November, a selected group of yr 8 students travelled to the Geelong Tech School to undertake a program called ‘Tilt Brush’, where students use VR (virtual reality) headsets to create a 3 dimensional environment.

The excursion, as part of the Geelong High School STEM program, aims to engage students in STEM and build their STEM related skills. STEM is the fastest growing industry on the planet, with many high paying jobs remaining unfilled due to a lack of people trained in these areas. As a result, this creates many opportunities for GHS students with their prospective career pathways.

Next year, GHS will run STEM classes from year 7 – 10 to help students gain the skills required to move into the STEM industry.
