The Wonder Project
So after 15 years cranking out my blog and podcast for Energy News, I’ve decided to use the platform to host some new voices and unconventional perspectives to shed some light on how we’re going to manage the energy transition. Sophie Burgess “the Accidental Energy Professional” is joining me on the journey.
For the next few weeks, we’re talking to Shelley Pearce who’s the Director of Engineering NZ’s rather wonderful Wonder Project, their free programme for schools, designed to get young Kiwis excited about science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
This week, Shelley talks us through the teaching philosophy behind the programme, and how they designed and developed the resources in it to show our tamariki how much fun a career in STEM could be.
If you’re interested in being an Ambassador for the next round of the Wonder Project which starts in Term 2 2024, you can sign up here or follow the links above.
