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 multi-award winning Tauranga STEM Festival (STEMFest) held in October.

We’ve just completed our outreach programme. Taking #STEM directly into communities who may not necessarily have access to STEM engagement.

Working closely the teachers to ensure that our content aligns with and supports their learning schedule and collaborating with other STEM providers like @coolbananasnz has been key to making it a success. With thanks to Te Puna School, Pongakawa School, and Katikati College for hosting us, the teachers and ākonga for their enthusiasm, and the Ministry of Education for funding this pilot. #KaPai

Keep an eye out for more #STEMInTheCommunity events in the new year, we could be coming to a location near you! 😎

On the 4th and 5th of August, our very own superstar Rachael (Project Coordinator) delivered on two days of STEM in the Community activations at Te Puna School. What an awesome two days with around 100 akonga having fun and learning to make stringhaulic gauntlets with the team at Thrive/Cool Bananas. Thanks to everyone involved. 👏

STEMFest Ambassador Natalie popped into say hello on Friday and wanted to have a go herself!

STEM in the Community is funded by Ministry of Education. 🙌

#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).
