Encouraging students to continue STEM studies in secondary school and beyond includes giving them information about STEM-related careers.

A coding club and inviting research scientists to speak to students at lunch times are two of the ways this school is working with its parent community to develop STEM learning.

How incorporating hands-on tasks has increased engagement in one educator’s science classroom.

Teacher expectations and morale have a role to play in tackling low student performance.

The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute has highlighted a slide in Year 12 high-level mathematics participation over the past 20 years.

The first national STEM Programme Index brings together information on more than 250 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics opportunities available to schools and students.
