Matthew Battisson, a Gladstone graduate from Queensland University of Technology, is one of 35 to secure a Young Technologists Scholarship. “I feel extremely honoured to have received my scholarship. I set my sights on the Westpac Scholar’s Young Technologist Scholarship at the beginning of my final year at high school, and my own desire to be a Young tech Scholar fuelled me with motivation to excel in my studies,” Matthew states.
From a young age, Matthew has always been fascinated with all things STEM. “Growing up in Gladstone has given me unique opportunities and has taught me to view the world as full of evolution,” Matthew explains. “Technology has been a constant in my life, and maturing alongside advancements in the digital space has taught me the value of a world connected through intricate systems. I think a large part of inspiration comes from seeing these systems advance and unite people in different ways, and I want to pursue the good change that this brings,” Matthew states.
