Program information

The STEM CPP aims to highlight local STEM careers and opportunities while providing avenues for students to develop their STEM skills in an engaging and rewarding way. Collaboration with Dubbo Regional Council, industry and the wider community ensure students can connect with STEM in a real-world, locally relevant way.

This program is very flexible in its delivery and can be delivered as part of any Stage 4 or 5 STEM related subject. A key element of the program provides students with an opportunity to engage in STEM focused projects to address challenges faced by their local community. This includes:

• Funded bus transport to attend local industry site visits such as Sewage and Water Treatment Plants - Dubbo Regional Council
• Career events, such as Orana Youth Forum.
• Student workbooks and resources for teachers
• Specialised Teacher Professional Learning (teacher relief funding provided)
• Connections with STEM industry and mentorship opportunities
• Free access to other CSIRO education programs

These opportunities will expose students to a range of different STEM opportunities and education pathways that lead to exciting local STEM careers.

• Higher levels of youth engagement in solving community challenges and engaging with the Council on those issues;

• Enhanced connections between local schools, local Industry and the broader STEM networks;
