Join our powerful network
Aspiring STEM Specialists expands the quality and scale of engagement between Queensland teachers, school leaders, the IMPACT Centre and our university and industry partners.
Build leadership capability
Aspiring STEM Specialists builds leadership capability in line with Department of Education's school improvement model. Mentoring services will follow the initial two-day workshop to ensure that participants engage in inquiry and apply the standards of evidence. Ongoing collaboration will ensure that teachers translate what they have learned into effective classroom practices.
Improve teacher capability
'The IMPACT STEM Team was an extremely well organised and thorough research project. Through this project, the IMPACT Centre improved the teacher capability of primary school teachers and school leaders in teaching STEM. Significant changes to teacher capability were measured.'

Meet 21st century needs
