2019 CASE Space School International Study Program

Mrs L. Miller, Principal —

I am pleased to announce Otago Girls’ High School will be involved in the 2019 CASE (California Association for STEAM Education) Space School International Study Program.

Through our partnerships, students have the unique opportunity to join this once in a lifetime, STEAM-based experience at NASA in the USA.

Recognising the challenges facing young students today, where the change of pace in society over the next 30 years will outpace the change we have experienced in the past five thousand years. Seventy five percent of the fastest growing occupations in Australia will require STEAM related skills and an expected 50% of current jobs will disappear.

By empowering students through this unique STEAM program, they will master the STEAM related skill set to prepare them for their future. Students become more focused, inquisitive to pursue the subject they are interested in through the unique access to NASA facilities, inspiring guest speakers and training programs, while learning a foundation of personal and leadership skills to apply through their school years and beyond.

This program is designed to develop leaders for the next generation, aims to inspire and ongoing interest in STEAM; empowering and preparing our students for the fastest growing and most sought-after occupations of the 21 st century.

A fantastic opportunity to learn beyond the classroom in the most inspiring environment. There is a one-hour information session about this international study program to be held on Monday 24 September at the School Hall, Otago Girls’ High School. Please see the attachments for all the information.
