Congratulations to David Wigger for reaching the finals of the Tasmanian STEM Excellence Awards 2024 in the category of Tasmanian STEM Secondary Teacher of the Year. STEM is the acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

These awards showcased the best practitioners across seven categories from education, research and innovation and industry and were presented by the Minister for the Arts & Heritage, Innovation, Science & Digital Economy, The Honourable Madeleine Ogilvie MP, at the University of Tasmania on Wednesday evening the 13th of November.

David took the opportunity to network and develop contacts with people and organisations for some possible student excursions and joint projects as well as opportunities for students to engage in deeper real-world learning and to foster their interest.
