August 2024 - STEMM Throughout Victoria / National Science Week
Learning and applying scientific concepts isn’t confined to a high school class or a capital city – there are opportunities to engage with STEMM fields right across our state. This month, we look at the education, engagement, and application of STEMM in Victoria. Also in this edition, we celebrate National Science Week 2024 (10 - 18 August), and showcase some of the events on offer in-person and online.
