We are so excited to introduce Melanie Tarr who is joining us as our new Digital Technologies teacher. Melanie comes to us with outstanding credentials and will be an asset to our technologies team.
“I come to Aveley to join the already exceptional computer science program that has been established.
In 2012 I produced the world’s first iPhone app written by high schoolers at a WA under privileged school. During my PhD I worked in eight WA schools to understand the best way to teach adolescents programming. I am a PhD examiner for the school of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Curtin and I began my career at ECU in my 20s being the first female employed as a support engineer in the Cyber Security department.
Students in my middle school Technologies classes receive tuition from myself and lectures from Computer Science staff at University while my senior school students enjoy learning how to market themselves as entrepreneurs through design and technology. The senior Applied Information Technology students also study technical systems for their own businesses as well as software design.
I look forward to getting to know the Aveley SC community.”
