About

Are you a future educator with an interest in building your networks with other educators, as well as your teaching capacity to deliver quality science and engineering-based units of inquiry?  Join us at Latrobe University Mildura and participate in a Questacon Starting in STEM professional learning session. 

In this FREE workshop, you will:

  • Get hands-on and explore key learner dispositions, unpack how students learn best and practise simple design-thinking routines.
  • You’ll walk away with curriculum-aligned, practical, low-tech STEM activities ready for immediate use.
  • Develop effective strategies to teach STEM content, and skills to meet the learning needs of your students.  
  • Gain the confidence to teach STEM in your classroom through the Engineering Design Process.   

After the workshop you will receive a certificate of completion to acknowledge your hours attended to Professional Learning. You'll also be connected to an online national community of practice platform for ongoing collaboration and support.

Places are limited.
