Curtin Graduation Dinner

Last Friday I shot a Graduation Dinner for Curtin’s Indigenous Australian Engineering Summer School (IAESS), in which 20 Aboriginal youths from all over Australia spent a week at Curtin learning about engineering.

In addition to the 20 participants, the dinner was attended by the Vice Chancellor of Curtin University, the Chief Scientist of WA Professor Lyn Beazley who was also the guest speaker, Ken Wyatt, the Federal Member for Hasluck and other members of Curtin’s senior management. As a long time listener to the science show on ABC radio I found it quite exciting.
