S2 E14: On cultivating STEM skills and inspiring future changemakers
Do you have students who dream of tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges?
In this episode, we explore the power of STEM education with Scott Sleap, STEM Enrichment Coordinator, who has dedicated his career to advancing STEM learning and fostering equity for students in regional and rural communities.
We begin by unpacking what STEM really means – not as separate subjects, but as an integrated approach that equips the next generation with essential, future-focused skills.
From growing up in Dungog to representing NSW public education on the global stage, Scott shares how his passion for STEM has taken him to NASA, the White House and beyond.
Reflecting on his work shaping curriculum, building STEM programs in rural New South Wales, and partnering with global and local industry leaders, Scott’s mission is clear: to give back to public education and inspire the next generation of innovators.
We acknowledge that this episode of the Teach NSW Podcast was recorded on the homelands of the Darug people. We pay respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples listening to the Teach NSW Podcast today.
