Arriving just in time for the excitement of National Science Week, our STEM Boxes are an incredible gift of knowledge! These free resources are tailored for students from years 7 to 12, offering a hands-on journey into the fascinating world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Each box contains a range of experiments and materials designed to enhance classroom learning or inspire independent exploration. More than just tools, these boxes are a passport to discovery, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Discover and learn with the ANU STEM Boxes — your key to an exciting and dynamic learning experience!
