Hearing from @Div_Tal about their important work supporting BIPOC job seekers, and helping businesses to become more inclusive - they identify their goal as 'no longer existing by 2030,' with the hope that soon diverse workplaces will be the norm @melbknowledgewk

The father and son team behind RollUP Recycling (https://t.co/6uT7TxgkU1) explain the lockdown origin story of their initiative, and how they plan to use the 135,000 tonnes of carpet which end up in landfill every year in Australia to make new products @melbknowledgewk

[Farmwall @Farm_wall]

Cynthia Barnicoat from @DiaperRecycle tells us about their approach to the problem of diverting 2 billion disposable nappies from landfill every year - by recycling the fibre filling into cat litter! A great example of circular economy practices 💩🐱@melbknowledgewk

Finishing off the #STEAMFutures Conference with 3 minute pitches - a microgreen-sized version of our earlier presentation 🌱❤️ It's been a great day of hearing from various STEAM organisations and educators about how we can move #TogetherTowardsTomorrow 🌍

[Farmwall @Farm_wall]

Final #STEAMFutures workshop for the day - @Pakronics presents the @microbit_edu 'do your :bit' challenge, using creativity and technology to tackle SDGs such as '13: Climate Action'! Another innovative approach, empowering students to make change 👨‍🎓👨‍💻🌏

[Farmwall @Farm_wall]

Incorporating the SDGs into learning helps motivate students by showing the practical applications of their knowledge and skills, and actively contributes to solving our most pressing global issues! Exciting to see the different ways groups address them @Pakronics #STEAMFutures

[Farmwall @Farm_wall]

Growing microgreens in schools is not only a great learning opportunity, but gives young people access to fresh, healthy & delicious food! A canteen that incorporates nutrient-rich, locally-grown greens into its offerings is great for the planet and for students #STEAMFutures🌱🌱

[Farmwall @Farm_wall]

CEO @geerthendrix presenting Farmwall's work in preparing students for the future of food 🥕 This industry has many opportunities for students to pursue meaningful careers in a variety of fields - so why is Ag & Hort Studies only offered at 7% of Vic high schools? #STEAMFutures

[Farmwall @Farm_wall]

Viewbank College building a vertical garden to supply herbs and vegetables to the Food Tech room - we love to see young people involved in urban farming! #STEAMFutures 👨‍🌾🍅
