At the start of December 2018, Katana joined a group of 35 other like minded students from around Australia at the STEM focused summer camp for 9 days. One component of the camp involved students splitting up into groups, which provided an opportunity to focus on a particular area of interest. Students were required to create a presentation which they would then need to present back to the group their findings in the lecture theatre, Katana\u2019s group focused on micro-plastics.<\/p>\n
