We are implementing a school community plastic recycling program that will ultimately enable students to use micro-recycling machinery to recycle plastics at school. These recycled plastics will be used in our STEM program for 3D printing.
Through this initiative, we aim to engage students in STEM experiences they might not otherwise have access to.
Students and staff will develop skills in identifying and sorting plastics, empowering them to actively participate in addressing environmental challenges.
This initiative aligns with the Department of Education and Training (DET) priorities and goals. The 'STEM in the Education State' plan emphasises the need to equip Victorian learners of all ages and backgrounds with essential STEM skills and capabilities for the future.
The plan sets specific goals, including:
A school community plastic recycling program that will ultimately enable students to use micro-recycling machinery to recycle plastics at school. These recycled plastics will be used in our STEM program for 3D printing.
