About the STEM Education Futures Research Centre
The STEM Education Futures Research Centre is made up of outstanding researchers from the university who are working in four vital areas to address the question of How can we best enhance STEM capacity and capability in Australia?
- To prepare teachers of mathematics and science for the technology-rich schools of the future.
- To use digital technologies to enhance learning.
- To develop agile mathematics and science practices.
- To drive government policy to enhance STEM literacies.
STEM Education is critically important. Australian governments are increasingly focusing on innovation – but in order to make that happen you have to have a scientifically literate population and a clever STEM workforce
