STEMCrAfT – a new programme developed by the University of Tasmania provides assistance for teachers of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Too often teachers are required to teach science, technology, engineering or mathematics when they don’t have a background in these areas. It is prevalent in rural areas.

For teachers it can be daunting and doesn’t always produce the best results.

The STEMCrAfT Project, developed by the University of Tasmania is a tool for teachers based on peer support. It provides STEM teachers with access to expert knowledge and allows them to select the best resources.

STEMCrAfT was recently the subject of a story on ABC Radio National’s The Science Show.  A transcript and podcast of the story is available from The Science Show web site.
