About Scitech
Scitech is a not-for-profit organisation proudly supported by the Western Australian Government through the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation
Collaborating to enhance our STEM impact
The future of work is changing, with coding and robotics playing a major role in future occupations. And it’s happening quicker than you might think. Picture this: 75% of the world’s fastest growing jobs will soon require STEM skills and knowledge.
At Scitech, we want every Western Australian to be able to do the maths, model the research, design the next solution and work that data to spot a looming trend. And by delivering hundreds of innovative STEM education initiatives, we’re playing a key role in getting students ready for what the future holds.
