STEM in School

Curriculum-Aligned STEM Sessions:

Our STEM in Schools sessions bring Indigenous STEM knowledge to life in classrooms across Australia. Using a two-way approach, these workshops spark curiosity and empower students through hands-on, real-world problem-solving activities. With a range of activities in each STEM area, we cater to the interests and year level of each class, igniting a passion for STEM and inspiring students to consider exciting STEM careers. Designed and led by our exceptional team, these sessions cultivate a mindset of innovation and exploration. Join us as we empower the next generation of STEM leaders.
