What is STEM?

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning that involves solving real-world problems using the knowledge, understanding and skills from the four disciplines with a strong emphasis on critical and creative thinking.

We are a multidisciplinary team who conduct research, educational experiences, and community engagement events. We actively collaborate with local, State and National groups. We work in partnership with Government, industry, educational institutions, and community organisations, including our major partner, ConocoPhillips Australia and our other key partners:
