The STEM education and outreach proposed by this project is aimed at strengthening engagement in local education, as well as specifically targeting teachers, by providing them with resources that can be used to underpin the STEM subjects taught in schools. Exposure to the practical applications of STEM and the opportunity to be involved in these directly is expected to encourage young people to pursue higher level education. Furthermore, to be acquainted with a team of real STEM experts will also be an encouraging experience for them. This early stage human capital development is expected to initiate increased economic development in the longer term.
