Stacey Joyce: VROC - Real-time Interactive Video Calls with STEM Experts
Join me for an interactive demonstration of VROC's free resources including the Experts on Demand
program. You’ll learn how to use VROC's searchable online directory to find and place
video calls to STEM experts using only an internet-connected device, webcam, microphone
and speaker. Optional: BYOD if you want to get set–up on the spot.
Perry Kotkas: Careers in Geophysics! (or..."Why Study Physics in School?!")
Who knew that studying physics in school could lead to an amazing career in a little-known
but very rewarding career as a Geophysicist?! Mostly employed in the petroleum industry,
also in mining, government & research, and increasingly in the environmental sector,
Geophysicists' careers are exciting, challenging and financially rewarding. This
presentation describes the science, educational requirements and the varied and
exciting opportunities for employment in geophysics, using interesting and sometimes
spectacular visual images of technology and geophysics in action.
