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.

Hear from our Women in STEM Ambassadors, ask questions, learn about career paths and/or complete a practical activity.  Industry representation optional. This can take place in the form of an incursion at your school, excursion to an RMIT campus or online.

This single day offering provides on campus or incursions exploring STEM through practical activities.
