Testimonials
“Overall this was a great event, It allowed educators exposure to others educators innovative practices. Companies offer amazing products but very few (public) schools have the resourcing to foster the high end tech approach. It was great to see a range of other approaches.”
Paul Anderson, NT Schools“Very well organised and run event with a collection of excellent speakers.”
Roy Anderson, Catholic Education NT“A very informative professional learning experience, a must for anyone who would like to gain in-depth knowledge and insights into STEM pedagogy.”
Neroli Rose, Ebor Public School“This event gave me insight into the wide range of resources that are available to support teachers in STEM.”
Anonymous“This is not a trade show. You are not going to be sold a snake oil solution to STEM in a box. What you will do is engage in learning and networking with people who will inspire you.”
Michael Gowers, St Monica’s College“Outstanding event with relevant information, Well Done.”
Adrian Rayner, Education Queensland
