Western Sydney University

Foundation University – Powerhouse Parramatta

‘The University is delighted to partner with Powerhouse Parramatta and the Walker Family Foundation on this ambitious project, which will create life-changing opportunities for the young people of Western Sydney and regional NSW for generations to come.’

Professor Barney Glover AO, Vice-Chancellor and President, Western Sydney University

Western Sydney University (WSU) is the Foundation University Partner of Powerhouse Parramatta, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to developing the next generation of Australian innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs.

As supporting partner of the Lang Walker Family Academy at Powerhouse Parramatta, WSU is contributing funding for the building and ongoing curriculum expertise delivery for exciting Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) learning programs for 10,000 students each year.

WSU’s substantial investment will help students from Western Sydney and regional NSW access immersive STEM learning experiences at the museum and an in-school program, both designed to inspire new education and career pathways.

Western Sydney University is also the Principal University Partner of two major Powerhouse Museum programs: Sydney Science Festival and Sydney Design Week.
