Google's AU$1m grant to help introduce 10,000 students to STEM careers

Google Australia in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers are over 10,000 young Australian actress underrepresented as part of a plan to turn the AU will be paid $ 1000000 for the three non-profit organization that has been declared.

Fund (first), robotics, Australia, and Engineers Without Borders Australia Australia's Indigenous counseling experience (AIME) first, inspiration and recognition of science and technology will be divided into.

Sharif is able to work with children, because the three organizations were chosen mainly added that his record, and he had to improve awareness of STEM education in Australia, at the university level will be greater than expected, he said exploitation.

"We have a strong educational system. However, with this kind of graduates we need a way. This is essential for the future work efficiency, and economy across the entire sector, the Australian economy at the present time, then he is the banking sector, he said, or a technology or technologies will become increasingly more dependent a company is, in the future, so it really is the efficiency of the stem. "

For AIME, between 7 and 8 years for students from indigenous communities in STEM curriculum will use the grant to introduce more content, and hopefully by 2018, which will increase the range of digital skills than 4,000 Aboriginal students.
