STEM Starts?
STEM Starts is all about fun and discovery! We help kids explore science, technology, engineering, and math through play. With a network of inspirational STEM centres, an engaging learning programme, and lots of fun outreach resources, our goal is to inspire future inventors and problem-solvers.
STEM Starts early—so we work with schools, families, and communities to bring awesome hands-on experiences to children as they begin their learning journey.

STEM Starts Early
Children who love STEM from a young age are more likely to be more successful in STEM subjects as they grow up. This can lead to a broad range of career opportunities for them to choose from when they start working, and can give young people the skills and confidence to go on and address real-world challenges.
