About Us

Driven by the community, for the community.

A registered Charity in New Zealand working to promote awareness of opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to young people and their families through community events, collaborations and meaningful partnerships. Tauranga STEM Festival (STEMFest) 2019 was the first large scale event in the Trust’s portfolio of community based projects and sold out of 5,000 tickets weeks before the main day. In 2020 the Trust reimagined STEM engagement in a COVID-19 world and with the support of local, regional, and national funders was able to deliver on a STEM programme of community events, culminating in a STEM HQ Discovery Centre which welcomed ~3,500 visitors over a period of three months.

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
