In this episode we chat with Jameson Harvey, who founded Red Dirt Robotics after graduating high school in 2021. Jameson is on a mission to inspire young people across Australia with STEM.
With the help of a Backing the Future grant, Jameson ran robotics workshops across 35 schools, working with 910 kids and 100 staff all across Queensland, starting in the Darling Downs and zig-zagging up to Cape York touching as many regional schools as he could.
Jameson shares his journey through the challenges of reaching remote communities to his joy in seeing studentsâ enthusiasm for technology as he âdisguises the learning as funâ.
He also discusses the crucial role of teacher training in STEM, how teaching robotics and technology is not that tricky (as long as the kids are confident enough to give it a crack), and the importance of making tech education accessible to all, no matter where they live.
