The first national STEM Programme Index brings together information on more than 250 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics opportunities available to schools and students.

By including programming in the curriculum, should the aim be to produce a nation of coders? Not so, according to Code Club Australia's Kelly Tagalan.

What resources are needed for teaching in context? Dave Tout discusses.

The 2015 World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) Awards have honoured six projects for their creative approach to learning and positive impact on society.

‘The emphasis is that the students are the ones doing the learning, not the teachers doing the teaching.’ Professor Peter Sullivan discusses a system project designed to challenge students in mathematics.

Nearly 1500 students in Years 5 to 12 took part in the latest Australian STEM Video Game Challenge. Here, Teacher provides an overview of the award winners for 2015.

Coding is a hot topic in education. But, as one UK teacher explains, it's not all about sitting in front of a computer.

‘You need to plan for what might arise, remembering that the range of skills and abilities of the group is likely to be very wide.’ Dave Tout discusses identifying individual maths skills and targeting lessons.

Students say a peer mentoring program linking their school with a local university has helped make science learning more relevant to the real world.

To mark National Science Week, Teacher hears from Professor Jim Pellegrino about shaping science learning for the future.
