The University of Southern Queensland is working to secure the future of youth clubs dedicated to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) in the state. STEM clubs can be found around the world, bringing together young people who have in interest in STEM and want to explore the subjects in innovative ways outside the school curriculum. USQ has been brought in to develop an important new resource for Queensland clubs - an 'evaluation framework' to help them get off the ground and build sustainable programming. Team leader Associate Professor Angela Fitzgerald, from the School of Teacher Education and Early Childhood (STEEC), says the university is excited to be involved in the project.
