International Collaborations

STEM projects like The VEX Robotics Project and the VEX IQ

Project involve international collaborations between secondary

education, tertiary education, government and business.

Modern Earning EnvironmentsCPIT STEM courses aim to create the mindsets and human capacity to help our young people compete on the local and global stage - to be confident, connected, capable to lead change, creative, innovative and great citizens.

How is this done at CPIT?• Integrative STEM model• http://youthguarantee.net.nz • Project Based Learning - through

problems.
