Community outreach & STEM boxes
We run community programs to raise awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM) study and career options. We are committed to providing opportunities for people of all ages to engage with science. From boxes of science experiments to STEM challenges there is something for everyone.

How the comp works
This event series is an opportunity for high school and college students to participate in fun and hands-on weekly challenges on a range of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics. The competition is being organised by the Australian National University (ANU).
We are offering exciting STEM Boxes which are full of activities prepared by ANU academics in Science, Technology and Engineering, Health & Medicine.
We are excited to offer STEM Boxes International to students around the world, which contain activities prepared by ANU academics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
To celebrate National Science Week, the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University is proud to present The National STEM Communicators Challenge: Hidden Mathematics at Work.
We have close relationships with Indigenous communities through partnerships, events and a number of campuses located in rural areas.
