Maths Explains Our World (MEOW) program at USC
November 2021
Year 8 students are invited to USC’s MEOW Program.
The focus of the program is to engage students into a series of hands-on and interactive afternoon workshops focusing on how maths explains our world (MEOW).
Innovative sessions will be delivered by different USC academics from a variety of disciplines such as epidemiology, biomechanics, geography, engineering etc.
Students will have the opportunity to learn new skills and enhance their ability to solve problems.
This year resources will be available to download from the MIE Events page from October 30th
During November we will be offering a series of Maths Explains Our World Seminars/Webinars
Past events
National Science Week 2021
This activity was designed to celebrate this year’s National Science Week theme – “Food: Different by design”.
Over the course of 4 x 40-minute long lessons students will be introduced to this year’s theme, learn about the importance of maths modelling to solve real world problems and tackle a scenario around food consumption in Australia.
Maths Modelling Challenge 2021
Term 3, Week 3: Hosted online
Celebrating mathematics and the spirit of competition, this event aims to help high school students develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and mathematics that can assist in future careers.
This year the challenge will be expanding to include year’s 7 – 12 with entries welcome from all teams across year levels. There are no minimum team requirements per school entry. Enter a class in all year levels or just one, whatever works for you!
One winner from each year level will receive an awesome MIE Lab Pack! Announced during National Science Week 2021.
STEM Connect Day – Athena Program
MIE Events hosted 30 young girls from Sunshine Beach State High School and Noosaville for an exciting day at USC Sunshine Coast Campus. The day included sessions about Brain Development, Design and Science Communication with each of the girls creating their very own Infographic based upon a research article they selected
Dream Big – Engineers Australia
During this event MIE Events volunteers ran three exciting STEM activities including Lego WeDo, Osmo, Arduino coding and to top the evening off – Balloon powered car races! MIE Events and Engineers Australia look forward to hosting more events together in the future.
