STEM school excursion climb
BridgeClimb’s Integrated STEM School Excursion Climb is designed for Years 7 & 8 students and aims to future-proof Australia's workforce through an educational learning experience.
The Climb focuses on topic areas such as Forces, Expansion & Contraction and Corrosion and brings students out of the classroom and into a real-life learning experience on one of Australia's oldest examples of engineered architecture.
LEARN STEM SKILLS WITH BRIDGECLIMB
Climbing through the heart of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, each student will be guided through an interactive learning journey by their Climb Leader. The experience will allow students to grasp the magnitude of this engineering feat, by touching the granite pylons, feeling one of the 6 million rivets used in the construction of the Bridge, and discovering the bearing pins beneath their feet, which all define the structure of the famous ‘Coathanger’.
BRINGING STEM TO LIFE
This Climb presents a unique and real-life case study of STEM topic areas and has been developed in collaboration with industry and engineering professionals to ensure the practical case study aligns directly with Years 7 & 8 current curriculum. This Climb draws together syllabus outcomes from Stage 4 Science, Technology and Mathematic subjects in cross-curricular STEM integrated lessons, in accordance with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and provides students with a comprehensive theoretical and practical case study.
