The Boys in STEM program is focused on providing young men with a similar opportunity to our highly successful and well established Girls in STEM program. Running for two days per term throughout the year, it will enable students to explore the world of STEM through hands on activities and connections with local industries.
Students will engage in a series of real-world design and creative challenges, building connections and confidence within a supportive environment that provides the chance to meet and work with like-minded peers and STEM professionals.
The program will:
- Engage with STEM industries, including site visits
- Develop STEM skills with industry
- Discover pathways in study and careers
- Build a collaborative network of peers and mentors
The deep learning that occurs, pathways mapped, and the networks made across schools over 8 days is supported by local industry and mentor professionals. Schools can nominate boys and gender diverse students with an interest in STEM based subjects who would benefit from integrated hands-on learning and building connections with students from other schools.
