Crystallising STEM Careers

The Crystallising STEM Careers project aims to bring about systemic change in STEM career uptake by preparing Year 4 – 10 students to make informed decisions about engaging in STEM subjects at school, future transition into tertiary studies and STEM careers.

I have learnt that future careers will rely heavily on skills like critical and creative thinking, collaboration and problem solving. These skills can be developed via the delivery of STEM learning.

The project delivers innovative STEM-focused career and technical education (CTE) face-to-face in a series of lessons with students in schools and via interactive workshops for parents/carers.

The Crystallising STEM Careers project provides a unique and valuable opportunity for students and parents/carers in the South East QLD North, Wide Bay Burnett and Central QLD regions.
