Macquarie University partnered with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) to inspire and engage primary and secondary school students in a fun, fast-paced, and hands-on learning environment. Macquarie has had great success not only with the “business” of the university but also in actively supporting the local community with this approach. Learn how the engineering department has grown from just four graduating students in 2009 to over 150 incoming freshmen in 2012.
