Manage episode 488839463 series 2740115
This week we chat with Jo Watkins, CEO of Australian Earth Science Education (AusEarthEd), a national not-for-profit bringing Earth and Environmental Science to classrooms around the country. From metro Perth to remote communities in the NT, Jo and her team are delivering hands-on STEM education through school incursions, teacher PD, and curriculum-aligned resources.
We talk about Jo’s journey from science teacher to education leader, the challenges of engaging students in Earth science, and what it takes to grow a grassroots program into a national success.
Show theme music: Kevin MacLeod
Thank you to the whole TWICS team for the incredible behind-the-scenes volunteering every week!
