STEMpreneurs Guest Speaker Series Presents:

STEM Science & Innovation Hub Director, Rongomai School
Nick Pattison
"Nick is this passionate maverick who keeps getting grants like a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat"
Think you lack the experience to start something? Let Nick Pattison and his primary school students show you how it's done.
Join us as we welcome Nick to share the unfolding story of starting up a STEM immersion programme for an enthusiastic group of primary school students. Nick will talk about the satisfaction of training young people to become future STEM leaders, and this will be a stimulating talk from someone passionate about their work. We can't wait to hear what Nick has to say!
"As the world around is rapidly changing, so is our approach to learning. S.T.E.M will open a new dimension to learning focusing on project based, inquiry learning using a range of technologies whilst still teaching the fundamentals of education (Reading, Writing and Math). Our S.T.E.M idea is to ensure we 'Educate to Innovate'." --Nick Pattison
