Discover STEMM
OUR VISION AND MISSION
At ‘DiscoverSTEMM’ aims to help high school students explore possible STEMM study and career pathways and help them develop their passion for STEMM by connecting them to programs, resources and like-minded people that will enrich their journey
ABOUT 'DiscoverSTEMM'
Whilst many students across the country are interested in STEMM, there is no easy way of finding useful resources and initiatives to explore this passion, making it difficult for them to find possible STEMM study and career pathways. Exploring STEMM opportunities is a laborious, time consuming and often confusing task as there is no single platform that encompasses all of the relevant information. And as a result, many students feel overwhelmed and discouraged and often miss out on valuable opportunities.
​
To address this concern, ‘DiscoverSTEMM’ is designed to provide students with an abundance of useful resources and links to help them discover STEMM from a young age. This is an easy to navigate hub that provides all the information in one location whilst allowing students to connect with like minded individuals and develop their STEMM network.
​
DiscoverSTEMM is aimed at making STEMM more accessible and creating excitement about these areas through an easy to use venue. Students can connect with a diverse group of people, and explore amazing STEMM programs and resources, making the journey to discovering their own pathway through STEMM more enjoyable for all.
