0:06 I think the future will be, like, really cool.

0:09 It will be different 'cause everything will change.

0:13 I think there will sort of be tables where you can paint on

0:17 and then you could rub the paint off easily

0:19 just with, like, one swash of a hand.

0:23 They'll have better technology like robot dinosaurs

0:28 or even, like, robot humans.

0:35 (BRIGHT MUSIC)

0:52 GIRL: We learn a lot of mechanical, software and electrical skills,

0:55 but we also learn things such as time management,

0:57 which helps in daily life.

0:59 My name's Dipi. I go to Blacktown Girls High School.

1:02 Our team is the first all-girls robotics team

1:03 in the Southern Hemisphere.

1:06 So far, our team's biggest achievement would definitely be

1:10 making it to the world championships in Houston.

1:12 There were so many teams.

1:13 There were 600 teams, a lot of them Ivy League schools,

1:16 and competing against them was such an opportunity.

1:20 It's so fun being here,

1:22 and when we see our robot doing what we made it to do,

1:25 it's always such a nice feeling.

1:27 And we love it. We love what we do.

1:32 (FUNKY MUSIC)

1:35 We are at Fashion Week Australia

1:37 and we're running a workshop -

1:38 we call it a Micro-School -

1:40 for high school students from New South Wales

1:42 to learn more about the creative industries.

1:44 The purpose of the day, really, is to show them, beyond fashion design,

1:48 that there's so many career opportunities

1:51 for them to pursue within this industry.

1:53 It opens your eyes a bit more to what it's actually like,

1:56 'cause when you're sitting in a classroom

1:57 or looking at events like this over, like, social media or something,

2:01 you don't really get the idea of how it will work,

2:03 but when you see it firsthand, you can kind of

2:05 figure out where you want to fit in that,

2:07 especially when it comes to your career in fashion

2:09 or even in just, like, events.

2:12 It's really helpful to be outside of one space.

2:15 It's always nice for the kids to hear how someone got to the top

2:18 and realise that it is just a series of steps, one after the other,

2:21 and how most industry people have had quite a windy career journey

2:25 and it's just that hard work and determination gets them to the top.

2:28 (COUNTRY MUSIC)

2:33 GIRL: I'm Brooke Harris at Junee High School

2:35 and I am a part of the Empower Energy Efficiency Project.

2:39 The Junee Power Project is combined with junior high school students

2:42 and community members and business members of Junee.

2:45 The students go around and test residents' homes

2:47 for leaks and cracks in walls and doors.

2:50 And the test team, whilst doing that,

2:54 they will use infra-red cameras to find the leaks and gaps,

2:58 which means that the energy bills will stay low in cost

3:02 and that the residents will benefit.
