Scienceworks invites Catholic school students and teachers to join us for a free STEM workshop that tackles real world problems. Thanks to a partnership between Museums Victoria and the Victorian Catholic Education Authority, STEMworks programs are offered free of charge to all Catholic Schools.
Design sprints are day-long, fast-paced STEM challenges for primary and secondary school students. Students and teachers will meet STEM experts, explore Scienceworks, delve into contemporary issues related to the curriculum, and utilise their creativity to solve authentic problems.
Teachers can take part in free professional learning workshops, to dig deeper into STEM Design Thinking, and explore practical ways to implement STEM activities in schools.
STEMworks events for 2026 will be announced soon
All STEMworks design sprints and professional learning sessions are fully supported by the VCEA, and offered to all Catholic school teachers free of charge.
