Informal STEM Learning

Informal learning refers to a lifelong learning in science, technology, engineering, and maths. This can take place across many different settings outside of the classroom. There are a wide range of informal STEM learning opportunities in your community. 

To participate in informal learning, you can:

• Invite a science speaker to your school, in person or online (e.g. Skype a Scientist or invite a parent involved in STEM to speak with the learners) 
• Visit a Curious Minds Discover Centre
• Take part in a National STEM week with the learners: 
  • Science Week 
  • Space Week 
  • Maths Week 
  • Engineers Week 
  • Tech Week  
• Take part in I’m a Scientist or I’m an Engineer
