Generation STEM

Generation STEM will engage students with advanced STEM education and promote the pursuit of STEM careers.

They will develop their skills through an inquiry-based learning approach, and will be provided with guidance, mentoring, inspiration and support from our partners including the Wonder of Science, based at the University of Queensland.

Students will have opportunities to engage in programs, challenges and competitions at a state, national and international level and engage with like-minded students across the world.​
