Are you curious about a career in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM)?

From fashion and space, to building robots and exploring the ocean floor, careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) offer a world of opportunities that are as diverse as they are rewarding.

STEM isn’t just for students gravitating towards numbers, computers, experiments, and equations.

We want to shine the spotlight on the possibilities STEM can offer. The #WithSTEMYouCan campaign is a movement showcasing STEM professionals from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Through #WithSTEMYouCan we hope to demystify the relevance and transferability of STEM skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and teamwork and as a result, encourage parents, guardians and students to explore study opens and career paths based on passions and capabilities.

See how #WithSTEMYouCan you can make a difference.

With STEM You Can is proudly delivered by Generation STEM, a 10-year initiative to build a strong and more diverse STEM pipeline in NSW. Managed by CSIRO, the program is made possible by the NSW Government’s $25 million endowment to the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF).
