The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Horizons program for high achievers is the perfect opportunity to extend science learning beyond the classroom. Students complete 4 days of specialist activities at a range of locations including Moreton Bay Environmental Education Centre. Activities are designed to be hands-on and link to authentic real-world science to further engage students in STEM and discover future careers. Students work in small groups alongside similarly interested peers from other schools. Schools are able to nominate students through an online registration process. On board Inspiration in Moreton Bay, students investigate fish stocks, plankton, sea grass and the sea floor using baited remote underwater video technology, plankton nets and microscopes, video gliders, benthic sediment grabs and a secchi disc to measure turbidity. Students work alongside guest scientists to explore Moreton Bay.
