Primary School STEM programs in Nature & Sustainability
Set in a beautiful garden landscape in Yinnar, Gippsland, the Max BioCare Research Park has developed an engaging program of sustainability-focused, hands-on science for primary school students.
This program is a collaborative effort between Max Biocare’s health professionals and scientists; and the local communities, including science teachers, bee keepers, professional counsellor, who are all determined to share their passion with future generations.
Aimed at nurturing children’s natural curiosity for nature and ability to care for it, the program is fully aligned with the Victorian curriculum. It is our hope that after visiting, students will develop an increased sense of awareness and empowerment to care for the world around them.
