4S (Society for the Social Studies of Science) is here!
Wendy will be running a Making and Doing session called STEP Right Up! on Wednesday from 1:30 – 5:00pm. Come join in! See the poster below.
Wendy will also be presenting a paper (with Nicola Marks) on Saturday at 11:00 am about the STEP framework, which can be found here:
Wendy is excited to be working with colleagues at the Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance, particularly Pierrick Chalaye and Kei Nishiyama, on a Deliberation in Schools program. The aim of the program is to build the capacity of young people to contribute to an enlivened democracy, both now and in the future. We are launching a pilot program in two Canberra schools this year, supported by funding from the IAP2 Pitch for Practice.
Wendy recently had the opportunity to observe and provide advice to the ACT Education Directorate on its Future of Education process, an exciting conversation about what education in the ACT should look and how it can be transformed over the next 10 years.
