It is our pleasure to share with you our latest collection of success stories from nine recently completed Curious Minds projects.
Each year, our projects tackle real-world challenges that can seem big and daunting at first.
- "How do we produce food sustainably and affordably to feed a growing population?"
- "How do we mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis?"
- "How do we restore our natural environments so all species can thrive?"
Curiosity is the foundation of learning. It drives students to question, explore and discover. The key to unlocking action in STEM is by guiding students to ask the right questions.
When young people follow their curiosity, they embark on a journey where the process of learning is as valuable as the outcome. Through this journey, they are exposed to exciting STEM ideas, pathways and role models. They develop critical thinking, teamwork, resilience and a passion for learning. As you’ll see from the stories in this showcase, students can come up with some pretty innovative ideas and solutions too!
Sadly, MBIE support for the Curious Minds South Auckland PSP will finish at the end of 2024. Even as we look back on the achievements of our past projects, we already have many ideas for evolving the programme going forward.
The need for engaging, real-world STEM education is greater than ever. We thank and acknowledge everyone who has supported the PSP up to now and look forward to being able to continue on this journey together into the future.
