Best Female in Mathematics Award - Brianna H and Shanaea H
Posted on 19 Jun 2019
On Thursday March 8th, UNSW Canberra presented the Best Female Student in Mathematics Award to years 8 and 9 brightest. The award was to recognise the outstanding work completed by those in 2017. 54 girls representing 27 schools across Canberra came first and received $250, while those placing second and third received double pass movie vouchers. Winners also received a $5000 undergraduate scholarship if they choose to enrol in a Bachelor of Engineering degree. By awarding young female students, UNSW Canberra hopes to encourage more women in continuing their studies in STEM fields and ultimately, pursue a career. The event was also held on International Women's Day. The young ladies were welcomed by guest speaker Ms Narelle Devine who spoke about the future of women in IT, Digital Security, Cyber-safety and Anti-Terrorism. Brianna and I enjoyed a morning tea after and an array of STEM activities were also available for the guests to explore. It was extremely kind for UNSW to acknowledge young females in male dominated fields, it certainly would encourage young women to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematical fields in the future.
