About

Are you a Tasmanian STEM educator with an interest in building your networks with other educators?  With the support of local teachers, Questacon has established the Tasmanian STEM network and is hosting regular meetings across the south and north of the state.

At each session, you’ll hear from local educators sharing effective, classroom-tested STEM practices, connect with your Questacon Regional Leader, and dive into a hands-on activity you can take straight back to your students. You’ll also explore practical ways to extend and enrich your teaching alongside peers. In this workshop, discover how Questacon’s Bytewise exhibition can support engaging, hands-on learning, plus try out Internet of Things devices and other innovative technologies, demonstrated by teachers who use them every day in the classroom.

Questacon Regional Leaders are in every state and territory across Australia to help you build confidence and capacity in STEM education wherever you are.

  • Meet other educators to share and learn from each other.
  • Gain insights on the best resources and programs in STEM.
  • Get practical classroom activity ideas that you can implement immediately.
  • Join Q.Ed Community, the online community to connect educators across the state.
