Gems in STEM

There is currently a crisis in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) across Australia:

• less than 7% of girls across Australia study physics and advanced mathematics in year 12;
• less than 11.5% of boys study advanced mathematics in year 12.

In 2018, CMP created the Gems in STEM program to:

• Work with a select group of secondary schools to explain what engineering is and inspire those who may find it to be a rewarding career choice;
• Ensure that every student believes that YOU can be whatever YOU dream to be, if YOU work hard to make YOUR dreams into reality.

CMP Gems in STEM is a program that aims to inspire Senior Secondary Students into a career in STEM. We at Gems in STEM really admire and support the work carried out by In2Science. The fact that In2Science has allowed mentoring of almost 70,000 students from 2004 to 2020 is both inspiring and creates hope – hope that through these amazing programs our young people will be more confident and believe that they can and will be - the future leaders of our professions.

We are so honoured to sponsor this event by In2Science.
In the COVID-19 environment, how do we engage students in STEM?
