About Us

Driven by the community, for the community.

STEM Wana’s purpose is to promote awareness of opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to young people through community events, collaborations and meaningful partnerships.

There is a global shortage of people entering STEM study which will ultimately result in a shortage of problem solvers we need for the next generation. We also want to ensure diversity in STEM by encouraging and cultivating talent and promoting the full inclusion of excellence across the social spectrum in Aotearoa.

We currently focus on three core initiatives, STEM in the Community outreach, Tinkd Makerspace located in Tauranga’s CBD, and the annual award winning Tauranga STEM Festival (STEMFest) which will be on Sunday 2nd October 2022.

STEM Wana Trust is a Registered Charity CC56830. GST 128-053-433. All Rights reserved.

#InternationalWomensDay Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. Together we can forge women's equality.

Did you know that #STEMFest was inspired by a woman (Ada Lovelace) and our Project Manager is also an amazing female lead? Soraya is passionate about getting more girls into STEM and so they can be the future leaders and inspire others to #BreakTheBias. Find out more about Soraya on our blog. Link in the bio.

Today is 22-2-22, which is not only a #palindromedate, meaning it can be read the same both forward and backward, but also has the added uniqueness of being all twos.

It is also known as a palindrome date around the world, even when it's written a different format (2-22-22).

We sent Tia and Pops to Hamilton today to support our good friends at @sciencespinners. We provided a breakout activity during lunch/kai time with a Pathfinder Egg Drop Challenge. Teams designed and made a capsule to protect their payloads 🥚 (not as easy as it sounds 😆). Well done to all the enthusiastic #scientists and #engineers who took part in the activity and to our winning team “The Three Musketeers” from Te Kopuku High #sscreativelab2021
