Generation STEM Western Sydney - Penrith Showcase 2026

As a valuable member of the Western Sydney community, we invite you to join us for a special community showcase featuring the creative STEM solutions developed by local students through the CSIRO Generation STEM Community Partnerships Program.

This initiative brings together schools, industry, and community to explore real-world challenges – such as agribusiness, biodiversity, connected communities, recycling and waste management, and youth – and empowers students to design practical solutions that make a difference locally.

At the showcase, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Explore student-led projects addressing local issues
• Connect with educators, industry mentors, and community leaders
• Celebrate the achievements of young innovators
• Discover how STEM education is shaping the future of our region

Whether you're a parent, industry professional, council representative, or community member, your presence will help support and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.

We'd love for you to be part of this exciting event and see first-hand how collaboration between schools and the community is driving meaningful change.

RSVP: Please register to attend at least one week before the showcase.

Note: Event registration will remain open until the start of the event. While we will do our best to accommodate dietary preferences, we may not be able to fulfill all requests made during late registrations.

We look forward to seeing you,
