Elfie has finished quarantine and is diving straight into the world of Scitech today, hitting the road with our Statewide Team! Stay up to date with his cheeky adventures during December on our Instagram stories 👆. #elfontheshelf

Last month our Statewide team visited 10 primary schools in the Great Southern region, with our trusty steed Galaxy (pictured at St Brigid’s Church in Bridgetown). 🚗

At our Future Innovators Event, Year 5 & 6 students tackled a real-world challenge facing local industry: how to repurpose personal protective equipment that can’t be recycled. ⛑️ . Using the innovation process, students worked with Kleenheat mentors to define, prototype and then present their ideas. . This special showcase was an opportunity for students to use the new STEM skills they’ve learnt through our inaugural Kwinana STEM Network program, in partnership with @kleenheat.

Joy to the world, there’s a Scitech Discovery Shop Sale! Get 20% off all products from 1- 24 December, plus an extra 10% for Scitech Members. 🎄🎁 .
