STELR (Science and Technology Education Leveraging Relevance) is a STEM education in schools initiative from ATSE — the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering.
STELR taps into the high level of concern that most students have about global warming, climate change and sustainability.
STELR modules include equipment, curriculum resources for classrooms, and teacher support. Teachers can access professional learning sessions as well as online and telephone support. Students learn about heat transfer by convection, conduction, and radiation together with the thermal properties of matter by building a miniature sustainable house. In other modules, they can build wind turbines or solar installations while learning about electric circuits and the transfer and transformation of energy.
The project was established by Dr Alan Finkel AC FAA FTSE FAHMS, former ATSE President and former Chief Scientist of Australia. STELR is currently running in more than 850 schools in Australia, New Zealand and Asia, with more than 100,000 students and 1500 teachers involved each year.
