18.01.2022 Victoria’s 10 Tech Schools will not be hosting school students on-site for the time being to help slow the spread of COVID-19. This is on the expert advice of Victoria’s Chief Health Officer and Australia’s Chief Medical Officer to stop all school excursions until further notice.

14.01.2022 During this recent lockdown we've been busy at the Geelong Tech School setting up some new equipment. This video is of our Bantam Tools PCB Milling machine. See the first comment to see the finished product. If this would come in handy for your systems students, get in contact with us and we'll see how we can help.... #pcbmilling #circuitboards #geelong #stem #systems

14.01.2022 In partnership with CSIRO and sponsored by Telstra, we are inviting young designers, coders and makers in Years 5-10 + VCAL to join a global project to save bees from extinction. In this design challenge, students will study food security, bees and bee behaviour to design a local habitat to increase bee activity.

11.01.2022 Congratulations to Oberon High School students Chaise Mason (Street Wear Mask category) and Sid Shrivastava (Medical Face Mask category) for taking out 1st place in our recent COVID mask competition. The state wide competition was instigated by Oberon teacher Seven Vinton, and supported by the Geelong Tech School, DATTA Vic, Australian Engineering Solutions and Core Electronics. Pictured here with the winners are Ross George (Austeng) and Christine Couzens MP who were both pa...rt of the judging panel.

11.01.2022 Oberon High School's Mr Vinton noticed some students were feeling powerless in the face of this pandemic. So, he teamed up with Geelong Tech School to empower ...students with this engineering and design challenge. Students from across Victoria are being encouraged to participate. At the moment, masks aren't designed to be reusable, meaning they end up in landfill once they're disposed of. They're also not designed with style in mind and that's a trivial but real barrier for some people in wearing them. Students will address these problems through using 3D printing, sewing, laser cutting, and screen printing. This challenge is encouraging students to develop their science skills in a very relevant way. And it was started right here in a Geelong public school. I want to thank Mr Vinton and Geelong Tech School director Leanne Collins for their efforts in this area. For more information, you can visit https://bit.ly/2ZKij0W.

10.01.2022 A new program is teaching high-school students how to utilise data and clever technology to solve complex, real-world problems. A partnership between the Geelong Tech School, CSIRO's Data61 and the City of Greater Geelong has made the program possible. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/31gcbjp... "The Bees with Backpacks program is not only creating a vivid and rewarding educational experience for students, it is also tackling a crucial real-world problem and linking local students with international research."

07.01.2022 Geelong Tech School answering a call out to work on local solutions While we are all practicing and developing ways to inhibit the spread of CoVID19 the Geelong Tech school is supporting the adaptation and prototyping of face shields and a intubation box for local medical use to keep our practitioners safe. The box, adapted from models used on the front lines overseas, are for use during intubation. The final product has been reviewed and will soon be in production for St John of God hospital in Geelong. The intubation box is currently being offered to other hospitals. The shields are being developed to prevent droplet transfer. They are designed for health professionals who cannot access medical masks and other community members who might need this level of protection.

06.01.2022 It's term 2, and unfortunately we're unable to have all the great students from our partner schools come in to engage in our programs... ...so we're bringing the programs to the students! We've setup a little film studio at The Gordon and we'll be producing online resources for as many of our existing programs as we can.... Stay tuned! #stemonline #steminhomes Department of Education & Training, Victoria #geelong
