Western Sydney University - Computer, Data and Mathematical Sciences

A beautiful shot from our Parramatta South Campus, just reminding everyone that life is to be lived and we should stop and smell the roses, or in this case ,admire the rainbows.

Check out the Venture Makers Innovation Challenge!

The Innovation Challenge is a full-day immersive experience hosted at the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport terminal, delivered by WSU Launch Pad in collaboration with Western Sydney International Airport (WSI).

Leveraging our strategic partnerships, we are unlocking the knowledge base and creative elasticity of our students to kickstart and showcase the innovation and economic development potential of the region and communalities of Western Sydney.

Over 100 students from various disciplines have worked tirelessly with mentors, collaborating and harnessing the power of AI to develop solutions to the challenge "“How might Western Sydney International Airport become catalyst to transform the way people discover, access, and explore Greater Sydney and NSW?”

All this work culminates in a pitch showcase where teams deliver their diverse solutions to a distinguished panel of judges.

Such a great reminder of the potential of our students and our region!

Science and Maths Expo 2025

Our recent Science and Maths Expo was a great success, with 160 Year 8, 9 and 10 students taking part in a wide range of STEM activities. Students enjoyed building and battling Battlebots, exploring the night sky in the planetarium, meeting animals with Sydney Zoo, and engaging with hands-on sessions from Fizzics Education, the One Giant Leap Foundation and the Australian Museum. They also took part in interactive science and maths challenges, Mabble (maths scrabble) competitions, 3D printing, and slime-making, thanks to colleagues in TRTS, School of CDMS, School of EDBE & School of Science.

A sincere thank you to our staff, volunteers, and external partners for their support in making the day possible. Their efforts created an engaging and memorable experience that showcased the excitement of science and maths.
