About this Event
STEM Explorers is a free, sensory-inclusive and trauma-informed program giving children and young people in Whyalla hands-on access to science. Activities include colour and light, nature science, robotics, circuits and chemistry.
The program builds STEM confidence, strengthens family involvement and reduces isolation through accessible learning that supports long-term engagement in science and problem-solving.
