Junior STEM Club News

Welcome to the new school term and to another exciting year of STEM Club at BBC. Junior STEM Club offers students unique and interactive learning experiences at BBC. Through real-world investigations, research activities, experiments, and STEM challenges, students will develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork as they explore the world around them. Our STEM program complements many of the students’ in-class learning experiences, offering additional opportunities, including STEM workshops, competitions, and excursions to enhance each student’s skills and potential.   

Term 1 Program  

This term, students will have a whale of a time as they dive deep into the STEM of the ocean. The Junior STEM students will embark on a voyage of discovery as they explore ocean science, conduct experiments, investigate the technologies used for deep ocean exploration, and discover more about the important and often unusual species that inhabit this incredible ecosystem. Our ocean STEM program will commence in Week 2. The full program will be available in the Junior School STEM Lab and on the Junior STEM Club page on Highlands.
