Welcome to MindSET-do, where we believe that STEM learning should be accessible to everyone.
Our mission is to develop student, teacher, parent, and community confidence, knowledge and skills to succeed in STEM and create more diverse and inclusive workplaces in these fields. Β We have been funded since 2019 and have engaged with over 160 primary schools, and over 50 secondary schools.
Our research has found that early positive engagement in inquiry-based, hands-on STEM activities prior to high school, can instil positive self-beliefs in students’ ability and confidence in STEM. Our programs are designed to develop critical and creative thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a growth mindset, all while fostering interest in and aspirations for STEM-related subjects and careers.
School-based career and technical education (CTE) sessions which develop studentsβ Computational Thinking Skills using technologies such as Scratch, Arduino and Micro Drones.
Our events brings together all things STEM in a range of exciting and engaging events hosted across Sunshine Coast and beyond. Events include various challenges and immersive experiences to get students (and adults) excited about STEM!
Community programs have been developed in consultation with regional communities to provide STEM inspiration to the broader community.
