Stemworks and Secondary Education
The Australian curriculum offers a broad science and mathematics pathway into STEM and sustainability focus.
Our resources support the the important E in STEM as an outcome of excellent research and discussion on the benefit of actually making and designing something that has a s and m link.
For example, in the sustainability focus consider the discussion on making a weather station as a system.
- Temperature - how to measure, calibrate, what to use, errors
- Humidity - what sensor, how to calibrate, why is humidity important, calibration
- Rain fall - how the measure, what area to collect, how to handle large rainfall
- Wind speed - how to measure, calibrate, store
- Display of data - what is important, storage, comparison,
- Needs - community, farming needs
We believe that the outcomes are much greater when students are involved in the design process in comparison to purchasing a weather station.
A typical secondary school STEMWORKS package will incorporate:
laser cutter, engraver, milling machine, electronics support materials, vacuum former, 3d printers etc.
