The Future STEM Leaders program is a multiple touchpoint program. It targets and supports the growth and development of leadership skills in year 9 and 10 women to be STEM Leaders in a classroom through facilitating the delivery of a practical STEM workshop to younger year students. The younger year student participation is open to years 6 to 8 of all genders. The STEM Leaders learning is guided by industry experts and Women in STEM Ambassadors who are current RMIT students studying a variety of disciplines across STEM. Part 1 of this program can be conducted at RMIT or your school.
