CME is involved in several STEM outreach programs, designed to inspire the next generation of creators and innovators.
FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC): Join Team 4788 to design, build, and compete with a large-scale robot. Starting with Master Classes, students can progress to the Build Season and have the opportunity to compete in state and national robotics competitions.
Indigenous Australian Engineering School: A week-long residential engineering experience for First Nations students, established and funded by Engineering Aid Australia. Explore engineering pathways through hands-on activities, industry connections, and cultural engagement while staying at Curtin University. Students join a national IAES community and qualify for ongoing education scholarships.
Girls+ in STEM: Our Girls+ in STEM initiative inspires young women and non-binary students to pursue their passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through engaging hands-on programs, mentoring, and connections with industry role models, we offer opportunities for students from primary school to university. Our initiatives create inclusive spaces where students can build confidence, develop practical skills, and envision exciting futures in STEM fields.
