Wyndham Tech School

A supermassive thank you to Katherine Bennell-Pegg from Australian Space Agency for visiting us yesterday! Meeting Australia’s first female astronaut is an experience our students (and our own team) will never forget 🥹💙 You've shown our young people of Melbourne's West what STEM futures are possible for them in this world ...AND outside of it 🪐

Your passion for science and engineering had its own gravitational pull on our Wyndham Central College and Warringa Park School students as you shared your career journey so candidly. Thank you for taking the time to answer so many of their questions and encouraging them to reach for the stars 🤩

Sometimes all it takes is just one conversation to shift a young person's entire trajectory 🚀

What happens when food, art, technology and community all come together? 🍲🤖✨ We partnered with Wyndham City and the creative team at Long Prawn to host their ‘Hat, Hand & Boot Hot Pot ‘, an interactive culinary art experience that transformed our building into a futuristic food lab.

Touring our Smart Farm and creating their own “future food” hot pot, diners explored Indigenous ingredients 🧢 synthetic proteins 🙏 food waste innovation 🥾 and the role technology plays in sustainable future food solutions.

This partnership brought our space to life in an entirely new way. Thank you Long Prawn for your playful and thought-provoking vision, and Wyndham City Council for supporting meaningful, future-focused experiences like this for our community 💚

210+ primary students 🤝 Robots 🤝 Indiana Jones vibes 🤠 3, 2, 1… LEGO®! Another one of our favourite events of the year: The FIRST LEGO League Regional Finals!

At just 10-11 years old, these young engineers designed, built and programmed their own robots to take on this year’s UNEARTHED™ challenge, working in teams to uncover hidden treasures and pitch their own archaeological innovations 🗺️ 🤩

A big thank you to:
🌟 Michael from Wyndham Vale Primary School for his dedication in coordinating this huge event
📚 Victoria University, Melbourne Australia's Werribee Campus Library for transforming their space into our official Judging Sites
💛 Salesforce, Rocket Academy and Microsoft for volunteering as judges
🍩 OMG Decadent Donuts Central Melbourne for keeping everyone buzzing throughout the day!

Events like this spark curiosity, build confidence, and show young people just how exciting STEM can be. We couldn’t do this work without amazing partners like you 🥹

“It was an eye-opening experience and now I am considering tech pathways as well” - Year 10 student that attended our Women in Tech event yesterday! 💟 A huge thank you to the inspiring women from Adobe and Oracle who made this day possible 🥹

Through speed networking and AI podcasting, 22 female students from Melbourne’s West discovered just how many career pathways exist in the world of tech, gaining confidence and a new sense of possibility for their futures.

A special thanks to Dr Loz from SciencePlay Kids for her creative and interactive presentation showing that tech isn’t just coding or computers, but a powerful tool used in every industry, including wildlife conservation, fashion, and art 🤩

Did you know that women currently make up less than 30% of the Australian tech workforce? Industry and education working together like this are how we can change that!

💟 “I definitely feel more confident now in my pursuit of a career in tech.” - Year 10 student

💟 “Before I was confused about tech but now I’m more interested.” - Year 11 student

💟 “I am more interested in pursuing a career in tech now, after listening to more women in tech.” - Year 10 student

We’re so grateful to all the incredible women who shared their time, stories, and experiences to empower our next generation of tech leaders ❤️‍🔥

One of our favourite weeks here at Wyndham Tech School: STEM Racing Australia VIC State Finals! 🏎️ 🏁 115+ students came from across the state to put their engineering, design, manufacturing, and teamwork skills to the ultimate test.

Across three action-packed days, we saw incredible student talent in CAD, physics, marketing, graphic design, verbal comms, and even enterprise management, showcasing just how diverse STEM really is ❤️‍🔥

A huge congratulations to all 29 teams who made it to the State Finals 👏 Your months of hard work, innovation, creativity and dedication to compete at a massive competition like this is an achievement in itself to be very proud of!

A special shoutout to team Typhoon from our partner school, Alamanda College in Point Cook, who were crowned the overall VIC Champions, taking home 10 awards and a spot at the Australian National Finals! 🏆

Fresh off their 2025 World Champion win in Singapore, thank you team Lunar from Brighton Grammar School for joining us to present the VIC State Finals awards and inspiring this next wave of STEM Racers 🤩
