STEMiverse 0010 - Phillip Mallon (159.22MB; download) -- In this episode of STEMiverse, Marcus and I talk with Philip Mallon.
Started at the age of 9, Philip built a radio crystal set and this became the foundation for an interest in electronics. Phillip’s path has given him countless opportunities to learn and to teach during the last fourty years.
As a cadet with the NSW department of Public Works, he studied Science and Technology at the University of Sydney. This was followed by further studies in the UK and a Masterst degree in Engineering Science at the University of NSW. Philip applied his new knowledge in biomedical engineering to providing electromedical equipment for the new Westmead Hospital. He worked on the first electronic toll system for the Sydney Harbour Bridge and was the control systems engineer on the Accelerated Loading Facility.
Philip helped provide the first computer systems engineering labs at UTS and was employed there as both engineering manager and an academic to provide both teach [...] Selected by: Michelle Dalmaris [ stations ], Fri, 29 Sep 2017 23:16:11 UTC

STEMiverse 0007 - Tim Heinecke (120.32MB; download) -- In this episode of STEMiverse, Marcus and I talk with Tim Heineke.
Tim is a former Physical Education teacher, and has been wondering about the art and practice of student engagement. In fact, he founded the Student Engagement Institute, based in Sydney Australia, to explore what it takes to help students become passionate learners.
Tim is the author of Student Engagement, How to inspire and motivate every child, and offers professional educational experiences for teachers that want to make a difference in the lives of children. Tim’s book and approach in teaching dominates our discussion, which is full of practical ideas for turning any classroom into a place where children want to be.
This is STEMiverse episode 7.
