The STARportal

The STARportal | Teaching during COVID-19 | Scoop.it

The STARportal makes the connections to STEM learning activities that inspire young people to explore, discover, and create.

The STARportal is Australia’s first centralised national portal for exciting and engaging STEM activities from around the country. This searchable database connects parents, students and teachers with their local and online STEM activities in real time.

The STARportal has been a collaboration between the Office of the Chief Scientist, Engineers Australia, Telstra, AMSI, BHP Billiton and the Commonwealth Bank, in consultation with the Department of Education to ensure all Australian families have access to any and all STEM outreach activities in their area and online.

Kim Flintoff's insight:
The STARportal makes the connections that inspire young people to explore, discover, and create.

By offering the most comprehensive collection of STEM activities and providers, the STARportal is the go-to place for families to discover local STEM activities for the children in their lives and for providers to find partners with which to collaborate.

Kim Flintoff's insight:
Our friends at Arizona Sate University (#! Innovation University in the US) have teamed up with Complexly to bring learners (and their parents and teachers) a collection of quality video guides and explainers of principles and practices across a range of disciplines.

These can be used as support material in your lessons or stand alone casual engagements with knowledge and insights in an entertaining and accessible way.
