Year 9 Science were given the rare opportunity to attend the Dr Jordan Nguyen Live Stream on Thursday, September 5th and explore the fascinating world of AI, evolving technology, and the human experience with a leading Australian innovator. Year 9 were enthralled with Jordan’s story of overcoming adversity after an accident in a backyard pool, and his initial struggle with trying to pair his interests and inspiration. 

Dr Jordan Nguyen is a leading Australian engineer, inventor and innovator, who is committed to improving as many lives as possible, as well as becoming a driving force behind both human and technological evolution as we move into the future.

An internationally renowned engineer for humanity, Jordan designs life-changing technologies to transform the lives of people with disabilities and the elderly through his role as founder of Psykinetic, a social business committed to bringing positive, sustainable and life-altering change. He also shares his adventures through documentaries across the world. Inspired by human endeavour, Jordan has big ambitions to see our world step consciously and creatively into a better future. 

In 2016 Dr Jordan Nguyen rose to prominence as he worked on his PhD when he helped Riley, a 13-year-old boy with cerebral palsy explore new levels of independence by inventing technology that uses eye movement to power technology and even drive a car. This adventurous exploration into the fusion of the human body and technology was featured in the ABC documentary “Becoming Superhuman”.
