STEM Futures: Celebrating Women and Diversity

March 26, 2025

On Friday 7 March, six Casey Grammar School students attended the STEM Futures: Celebrating Women and Diversity conference at Casey Tech.

This event celebrated women and diversity in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The STEM Futures conference was designed to be an interactive and informative event that brought together students, educators and professionals from various STEM disciplines. Dr Mary Cole (Director and Principal Scientist with Agpath Pty Ltd) was the keynote speaker and delivered an engaging presentation that focused on the groundbreaking research she has done within the agriculture space for over 40 years.

She discussed the challenges she has experienced as a female within a largely male dominated industry and was quite inspirational to the budding scientists within the room.
