“The STEM Roadshow is unique in that it travels around with representatives from the major STEM disciplines and gives everyone who comes along — students, teachers parents and those interested in further study — the chance to ask questions of the lecturers who teach in those disciplines,” Damian Harris said, who is managing the tours acrossQueensland.
“We think the skill set that comes from studying STEM sets students up for the fast-changing work environment they will be entering.
“To assist people on that journey is very fulfilling.”
