The STEAM program is a community initiative aiming to proved opportunities and encourage interest in STEAM disciplines.
Who runs the STEAM Program?
The program is run and delivered by the TasNetworks Graduate team; a diverse group of young professionals working in a range of roles such as Engineering, Legal, Accounting, Economics and People.
What is our goal?
We deliver Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics related design challenges to young Tasmanians through school partnership and public events.
Activities:
We run several activities for schools and community groups to engage with STEAM - and electricity.
Activity 1
Light Up Tassie Game (events only)
An interactive challenge showing the impact of adding/ removing generators and customers to the Tasmanian grid.
Activity 2
Tower Design Challenge
A construction challenge where participants aim to design the strongest transmission tower with limited resources.
Activity 3
Circuit Design Challenge
Participants will complete a series of differing circuit designs with various electrical components.
Activity 4
Robot Coding Challenge
Participants use an app to code a robot vehicle, and construct their own trailer to tow behind it and complete a course.
Activity 5
Energy Market Game (High School/ University Only)
A simulation of the National Electricity Market. Participants play as generators, aiming to dispatch as much energy as possible in a given interval.
