Careers with STEM

The Careers with STEM hub includes a quarterly magazine, posters, videos, quizzes and website to help students discover the careers of the future.

Each year we deliver four magazines across each of the STEM disciplines, plus special editions, like Digital Retail, Data Science and Cybersecurity. To date we’ve published more than 25 editions distributed free to students across the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Many of the careers of the future will combine STEM skills with other areas. We call it ‘STEM + X’. Like Technology + Fashion =   3D printed clothes, Maths + Sport = footy statistician. To find you STEM + X career pathway and more, head over to CareerswithSTEM.com.

I had a Year 12 student come in today, very lost and disengaged. He only knows that he likes computers and being creative. You should have seen his eyes light up when I gave him one of the magazines!! It was the best.

Your publication Careers with Code is stunningly effective in stimulating interest in IT based careers.  I personally read it through from cover to cover before sharing it with colleagues and students. The layout, stories, photos and entire concept is excellent.  As a tool with students it has been highly effective. Colleagues have seized on its potential to expedite appropriate learning.

The way I found the career I wanted was from one of your magazines. I appreciate it as it has made me more eager for knowledge and given me a desire to study math and science. This magazine is so inspiring and I hope to one day become like one of your featured scientists.

Your stories provide us with rich, appropriate and concise reading. The layout design of the magazine editions are also done very well.
