This event aimed to educate students about plastic as a precious material. We taught primary and secondary school students about the material properties of plastic, the uses of plastics and the plastic recycling process at both the Precious Plastic level and Australia wide.

There was be an interactive session where students was given the chance to ask questions about both plastics as well what we do at Precious Plastic Monash and studying at Monash University.

Our Schools Day went virtual!

We hosted students from all over Melbourne as our team ran activities in the STEM field. Due to the lockdown in Melbourne, we had to hybridise our day, which made us adapt and overcome challenges.

With more than 50 attendees, our Outreach team were able to make a significant impact on the attendees perception towards plastic. One of the best things we do at PPM is making change in the lives of our community, and by hosting schools days, we not only make a difference, but have a great time doing it.

We were at Booth 6 in the Atrium of Federation Square during Pause Fest 2019!
