Guest Speaker: Alison Lawrie
Focus of presentation: In Aotearoa there’s a huge skills shortfall in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), with many students not aware of their capability to
innovate today, and their potential to be change-makers tomorrow. The Wonder Project was developed to change this by taking young Kiwis from Year 5–13 on a creative, dynamic, and fun STEM journey through hands-on learning experiences that knit seamlessly into the New Zealand school curriculum. Our STEM programmes are free and available to all schools across Aotearoa, sparking excitement about STEM and igniting future career aspirations. Alison will run through everything you need to know about the Wonder Project including what we’re offering free to schools in 2023, why teachers should get involved, what students gain from it, and all the ways we build STEM confidence in students and teachers alike.
