“Extremely beneficial sessions – very practical day with new, fresh ideas for how to incorporate everyday materials to make science fun and interesting. Very worthwhile day!”
Anne-Marie, St Joseph’s School
“This course provided hands on activities that made me want to go and teach science straight away. The course was extremely professionally done. The instructors really knew their stuff and demonstrated it in a group friendly positive manner. Loved it and can’t wait till the next one.”
Robyn, Columboola Outdoor and Environmental Education Centre
“Fantastic workshop to provide hands on ideas of implementing STEM in different year levels. The delivery of the session was engaging, well prepared and well resourced. I would highly recommend this to any teacher wanting to increase their confidence with STEM.”

Mathew, Ambrose State School
“Highly-engaging learning materials with a true multi-disciplinary focus. Wonderful bonus is to be able to access a truly Queensland-orientated set of resources online that are easy to search and ready to implement.”
Jo, Capricornia School of Distance Education
“The workshop was explicitly linked to the Australian Curriculum and the supporting activities and resources would greatly enhance any classroom. Very professional from start to finish. I highly recommend this workshop.”
David, Jandowae P-10 State School
“The Future Makers resources allow me to put a different lens over the students’ learning and in doing so, students are still learning the key content but in a far more engaging, hands-on way. This lens also means that the unit is of increased relevance to their lives.”
Rosie, Taroom P-10 State School
“The Future Makers professional development day was presented in a way that engaged everyone involved. The activities were relevant to what we are teaching and learning in class. I’m looking forward to attending future workshops.”
