Generation STEM annual report

Generation STEM is a New South Wales Government initiative to attract, support and retain NSW students into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and career paths.

The initiative launched in 2018 and to date comprises four programs:

  • STEM Community Partnerships Program (CPP)
  • Deadly in Generation STEM
  • Generation STEM Links
  • Evidence X

2023 was a pivotal year for Generation STEM. Its programs reached a new level of maturity and embarked on a strategic shift towards strengthening and deepening the impact and planning for a lasting legacy.

The next four years will be crucial in ensuring Generation STEM continues to focus on increasing its impact and laying the foundation to tackle systemic challenges, enabling the program to leave a strong legacy in the STEM education system.
