Zahlia Brown is a proud member of the Trailblazer Program, bringing curiosity, determination and a genuine passion for STEM to every opportunity she takes on. As a student deeply interested in science and technology, she sees the program as a pathway to explore her potential, connect with like minded peers, and gain a clearer understanding of the future she wants to build. Zahlia approaches each new challenge with enthusiasm, always ready to learn something new and push herself a little further.

A standout moment for Zahlia during the EOS Space Bootcamp was the group’s visit to Questacon. Among the many hands on exhibits, the earthquake simulator became an instant favourite — especially when Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off started playing, turning the whole experience into a mix of science, laughter and pure fun. It was a reminder that learning can be exciting, memorable and full of unexpected joy, especially when shared with people who are just as passionate about STEM.

Through the Trailblazer Program, Zahlia hopes to inspire other young Australians to explore their interests and take chances on opportunities that might feel out of reach. She believes that saying “yes” can open doors to experiences that shape who you become — just as the Space Tour and Bootcamp have shaped her. Zahlia is excited to continue growing, learning and encouraging others to step forward with confidence into the world of STEM.
