As well as being incorporated into classroom learning, STEM is taught as a specialist subject, 50 minutes per week, to all students from Foundation to Grade 6. The large dedicated learning environment is split across two rooms, allowing students the space to explore, experiment, plan, build and test in their learning. The space is equipped with class sets of Dash and Sphero robots, Technic kits, Lego bricks, train tracks and other lab equipment to ensure students are learning by doing, rather than just observing. Students have access to 1-1 iPad usage through either class sets for Foundation-Year 2, or BYO program for Years 3-6 and these are regularly used in class to grow student's technological skills.

• Creating digital solutions - block and JavaScript coding with Sphero and Dash robots.
