More than 30 speakers took their place as students had 15 minutes each to ask questions before they moved to the next guest.
Speakers covered careers including civil and mechanical engineers, nurses, midwives, research technicians, food scientists, geologists, psychologists, renewable energy specialists, principal analysts and university students studying biomedical science, environmental engineering, engineering, psychology, optometry, science, medicine, sports engineering and biomechanics.
Damascus' science learning area leader Ivanka Saric said students did not get to choose who they spoke to.
"The idea of not letting them choose all the speakers is to get them to talk to variety of different people ... to broaden their understanding of different careers involving science and maths," Ms Saric said.
