On March 22nd 2023, the Techtrails team met with the students at Champion Bay Senior High School (CBSHS). Techtrails Incursions, with the generous support of the National Careers Institute Grant, made an exhilarating visit to CBSHS to help promote STEM career pathways to regional WA students. This program brought accomplished women from various STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, who shared their personal narratives and valuable insights, aiming to inspire students to explore technology and its related disciplines as prospective career choices.
