Our mission
To provide high quality Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education experiences and help deliver a positive impact for Australia.
As the National Science Agency, we have a duty to help build STEM capability, and a unique platform from which to do so. Being at the forefront of Australian science, we can put cutting edge science into the hands of young Australians.
To build STEM capability, we focus on:
- connecting industry to education
- supporting groups that are underrepresented in STEM
- engaging with communities
- translating our science for the classroom and the Australian curriculum
- offering professional development for educators.
We work really closely with industry. We support teachers and educators. We work hard to ensure those traditionally underrepresented thrive in the STEM future.
To do this, we partner with like-minded organisations to design and deliver evidence-backed programs and activities that build the STEM capability of young people, of educators and the community and we've been doing it for 40 years. We are really proud of the work we do and the impact it has. If you want to learn more, check out our website and subscribe to our newsletter.
