STEAM and beyond

In recent years STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) has become an important topic for everyone. Our society has been developing technology and moving further ahead with STEAM at an alarming rate in comparison to the rest of the education sector. The younger generation has been immersed in technology their whole lives and always will be, including at their jobs. While we need STEAM, society’s current fixation with it has had an impact on other disciplines. We still need other sectors to flourish like accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship.

Throughout this panel discussion, we'll be exploring STEAM and entrepreneurship with the following guest speakers:

• Greg Cross, CEO and co-founder of Soul Machines
• Cecilia Robinson, Founder and co-CEO of Tend Health­
• Maru Nihoniho, Managing Director of Metia Interactive
• Dr Michelle Dickinson, Founder of Nanogirl Labs

This will be an interactive session as we will be discussing the current issues and beyond.

We'll also have our amazing food trucks available throughout the event for a bite to eat.  PastaMASTA and Nom Nom will be onsite serving up some of their delicious meals for attendees to enjoy!
