<p class="MsoNormal">Dear friends, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">DATTA Vic and the Banyule Nillumbik Tech School are hosting an after-school forum on the 5<sup>th</sup> March. We are very keen to speak to teachers and HOD’s about Systems Engineering. In particular, we’re hoping to address three areas:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">What barriers do schools face to offering VCE Systems Engineering?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">What upskilling opportunities do teachers need to run systems programs for 7-10 and at VCE?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">How can we attract and retain more students – in particular girls – in Systems Engineering?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are hoping to attract grant funding to deliver teacher professional learning in this area, so we want to speak to as many educators as we can – either those already teaching Systems or those who would be interested in the future – to
ensure we develop a program that meets our members’ needs. (If you’ve recently set up VCE Systems at your school, please email me!)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So if you are free on the 5<sup>th</sup> from 4pm – 6pm, please join us at Banyule Nillumbik Tech School and share your ideas and issues over a coffee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
