Our founder’s expertise is shared globally, from national and international research collaborations to working alongside different organizations to co-create an approach to STEM education that not only gives teachers/educators tools to teach science from a knowledge equity place, but also inspire students to feel confident in science and empower communities to work towards a sustainable togetherness.

STEMedge Academy and Dr. Poh Tan represented Canada on the global stage to share insights and advice on women in STEM from an educational perspective. Hosted by the Government of New Zealand, we share views on how science education can support more women in science alongside other trail blazing women from Chile, Mexico, and New Zealand.

Shared learnings and ways to bring culturally-responsive teaching approaches to STEM education with higher-education educators with McGraw-Hill Canada, one of Canada’s leading educational providers.

STEMedge Academy shared expertise on how representation and diversity within STEM classroom and outreach initiatives addresses stereotypes in STEM with Kidzsmart Communications. Learn about how mentorship and coaching play a significant role in bringing equity to classrooms through science education.

In conversation with The Question Guy, we talked about how transformative science education that takes a more diverse and equitable approach to knowledge sharing can create significant positive impact for the community. Join the conversation to learn about how STEMedge has applied this approach with our change-makers.
