Impact

Get into STEM is funded by the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources and managed by Education Services Australia. Get into STEM provides students with resources to help them understand how their existing skills and interests can link to STEM careers and study pathways. Get into STEM develops resources that engage and support underrepresented cohorts in STEM. 

Get into STEM expands on the existing resources of The Girls in STEM Toolkit (The GiST). Evaluation of The GiST explored three key evaluation priorities to identify the project’s impact: 

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of The GiST for teachers: 

Do teachers find the resources on The GiST useful in supporting them to improve girls’ participation in STEM? 

  • Evaluate the usefulness of the STEM Career Quiz for students: 

Does the quiz guide students to discover STEM careers and does it provide useful information? 

  • Evaluate the usefulness of The GiST for families: 

Are the resources on The GiST useful for families to support/encourage their girls into STEM pursuits/pathways? 

These questions formed the focus for the evaluation activities undertaken throughout the life of the original project.
