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 with agricultural engineering and activities from the ‘The Best of Bugs: Designing Hand Pollinators’ unit of work.
  • 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, we’ll send you our FREE resource kit and unit of work so you can run Engineering is Elementary in your classroom. You’ll also be connected to a national community of practice for ongoing collaboration and support.

Places are limited.
