“Education, perhaps more than anything else, is a passport to a better life” beautifully sums up the work and aim of the Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment. In today’s episode, Kate and Tegan sat down with Georgia Sutton who is the Manager of the Children’s University Tasmania, a program under the Peter Underwood Centre that provides informal learning opportunities to schools and communities across Tasmania. Georgia talks about the important work delivered by the Children’s University and how it fosters important skills like confidence and curiosity. We also dive into how young people across Tasmania are engaging in STEM and what the future of education in Tasmania could look like.
