Woman in Engineering

Raise Māori student achievement through the development of cultural visibility and responsive practices across the pathway as measured against National Standards and agreed targets for reading Years 1-10 and NCEA years 11-13. As a CoL leader within the school. I  am more interested in inquiring about student learning and my own practice.

Enginuity programme.
One of my colleagues and I took a group of year13 Calculus girls to University of Auckland to Enginuity programme.

What is Enginuity programme?

Once a year high schools girls get a chance to visit University of Auckland’s Faculty of Engineering to explore the possibilities of a career as an engineer.
During the day learners got put into groups according to their interest in future study and did various workshop activities and demos. Learners found it useful to experiment with creativity and the problem-solving processes engineers use in real life. These conducted by Professional engineers, lecturers, and current students.

Here is the programme:

Why should students(year13) need to see university environment when they are at school?

This is because Learners must understand the difference between high school and university life to make a smooth transition and this one of my key factors of the causal chain.
Our girls found it really useful to collaborate with current students and came up with double folded motivation.
