Dom is accepted to attend youth science forum

Brisbane Water Secondary College student Dom Hall has been accepted to attend Rotary's 2022 National Youth Science Forum in January, having been nominated by the Rotary Club of Umina Beach.

The forum attracts outstanding science and technology students from throughout Australia and will be a great step for Dom towards his career goal of becoming an engineer, according to club publicity officer Mr Pat Lewis.

"The forum will be a 12-day program from January 10 to 25, with a combination of in-person and digital experiences.

"Participants will experience keynote speakers, lectures, hands-on workshops, debates, expos and enriching social activities.

"In-person visit days and events will be held over a week of the program at major city hubs across the country, enabling students to meet each other and network with like-minded peers.

"A continuous program of digital events will run alongside the in-person events meaning the program is accessible to all.

"This means the Fourm is still accessible and stimulating should there be a Covid-19 hotspot emerge or lockdown called at a hub location."

Mr Lewis said Dom would have the opportunity to participate in tours of science and technology facilities, and learn about cutting edge research.

He would be able to engage with industry partners and research providers, and learn about university and STEM career pathways.

He would be able to mix with other like-minded students and network with former Forum participants.
