STEAM EDUCATION

Australian Geographic is proudly the leading retailer of STEAM products. STEAM is an educational learning approach that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics to equip students with skills for the economy of the future. Focusing on these educational pillars helps students to gain and apply deeper knowledge, develop creative and analytical thinking skills, and collaborate effectively with their peers.

The value of STEAM skills has been supported

over the past two years by investment from the Australian Government

in research and funding for STEAM initiatives.
