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
Investing in the future of Western Australians
Our dedicated partners enable us to do more, reach more, engage more and inspire more, every day. These partnerships continue to help us bring the very best in STEM, interactive learning and positive futures to all Western Australians.
With your support, we’re re-inventing STEM engagement and reshaping the delivery of our vision in the digital age.
Our partnerships play an important role in helping to transform lives, empower communities, diversify our economy and develop our future workforce.
We invite you to share in our successes on this journey.
Statewide
Partnered by Rio Tinto
Scitech’s partnership with Rio Tinto enables us to take our unique STEM engagement out of the Science Centre at City West and on the road (and sometimes the airways) to visit every regional and remote community across the state.
Our Statewide team deliver a variety of experiences that range from primary school science shows and workshops to early learning programs, secondary school career festivals, shopping centre visits, community shows and DIY science kits.
This activity positively contributes to the engagement of over 500,000 West Australians in STEM every year.
We are proud of the impact our work has on WA children in shaping their futures. We’ve captured this in a short video story as seen through the eyes of our Statewide presenters.
Aboriginal Education Program (AEP)
Supported by Chevron and Rio Tinto since 2007.
These interactive, hands-on workshops have been developed with a cultural awareness of the people and landscapes of our regional and remote Aboriginal communities. Programs include student workshops and DIY Science Kits for primary and secondary students, with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy
AEP DIY Science Kits are fully self-contained classroom resources – providing teachers with all the equipment and information to run engaging and relevant lessons.
Alcoa Digital Technologies Enrichment Program
Under the umbrella of the Alcoa Digital Technologies Enrichment Program, Scitech, in partnership with Alcoa, are delivering two new professional development components for primary school teachers that will enhance students’ capability to learn, understand and be responsible with digital technology and systems.
Mitsui Intensive Robotics Program
The Mitsui Intensive Robotics Program aims to develop capacity in robotics and STEM in Pilbara schools, through provision of both educational resources and face-to-face teacher support delivered by the Scitech Professional Learning team.
Shell NXplorers Program
Since 2018 Scitech has partnered with Shell to deliver their global science, technology, engineering and maths program NXplorers.
NXplorers promotes an ‘agent of change’ mentality by challenging students to create relevant, realistic and positive solutions to issues facing their communities.
STEM Club
STEM Club is an intensive multi-week after school program for students in years 4-6. Participants dive deep into STEM concepts through imaginative hands-on projects such as designing and building a rubber band car, coding and constructing an animatronic figure, and building and modifying a gravity defying glider.
