About

Looking for more ways to strengthen STEM in your classroom? With the support of local teachers, Questacon is establishing the Far North Queensland STEM Community of Practice. Come join our first meeting of 2026!

Each meeting you’ll hear from local educators about STEM classroom practices, connect with your local Questacon Regional Leader, engage in a hands-on STEM activity and discuss how you can extend and enrich your STEM teaching. Questacon Regional Leaders are in every state and territory across Australia to help build confidence and capacity in STEM education.

  • Meet other educators to share and learn from each other.
  • Gain insights about STEM opportunities.
  • Get practical STEM activity ideas for your classroom.
  • Join Q.Ed Community, an online community to connect educators across Australia.
