RTL livestream International and Interstate STEM Professionals!

Sue Keay, CEO at Queensland’s AI Hub and Faron Antony at Tesla in Silicon Valley livestreamed over zoom to over 200 students from 6 schools. Over 90% of these students represent “Generation Alpha” (Grade 5 and 6)

Both Sue and Faron did a fantastic job of inspiring the next generation from the comfort of their respective workplaces in Queensland and Silicon Valley.

They were interviewed by 15 year old students, Gemma Wildermuth of Cornish College and Mitch Hirst of Yarra Valley Grammar School that have participated in RTL starter and extension workshops. In fact, Gemma was making her way back from the airport having competed in the First Tech Challenge (Robotics Competition) in Sydney. Her team came second, and she will be competing in Nationals next month. Well done to Gemma and her team.
