STEM is all around us and affects every aspect of our lives. While the world of STEM is embedded into so many of our daily functions, the pace in which these fields are growing and driving innovation can sometimes make breaking into the field a little inaccessible or daunting for some. This is something the University of Wollongong's (UOW) Industry 4.0 Hub aims to overcome, providing the Shoalhaven community opportunities to experience STEM in a supported and educated environment. STEM awareness and community outreach by the Industry 4.0 Hub has taken a variety of forms since its launch in September 2020. Tours for Shoalhaven secondary schools, Sikorsky Australia's 'Plane Simple Challenge'; and MakerSpace workshops for UOW staff, students and the community are just some of the practical, informative and engaging initiatives of the Nowra based team. A key priority for the Hub is to encourage and support high school students explore STEM-related study and career pathways.
