Science engagement and outreach 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. Science Lab: Experiments for home & school Make your own rainbow, power a light with lemons, or build a wind turbine. Discover fun science experiments you can do at home or at school. Watch the videos STEM Challenges Take photos, answer questions or build/design something to complete weekly STEM challenges set by The Australian National University.
