STEM on Track

---

 STEM on Track is a powerful, hands-on STEM experience where young people step into the world of motorsport engineering—building, understanding, and driving a real go-kart.

Delivered by GreenSTEM Education at The Makers Technology & Innovation Hub, this program connects classroom learning to real-world application, giving students the opportunity to develop practical skills, confidence, and a genuine passion for STEM.

Starting Monday, 15th June 2026, STEM on Track runs weekly during school terms on Monday afternoons (4:00pm – 6:00pm), continuing through Terms 3 and 4.

Over the course of the program, participants don’t just learn about STEM—they apply it.

They work collaboratively to:

• Build and assemble a real racing go-kart 
• Understand mechanical and electrical systems 
• Develop engineering, physics, and design knowledge 
• Solve real problems in a workshop environment 
• Test and refine their work through hands-on learning 
• Drive the kart they’ve built at a real track experience

This is STEM brought to life.

Most STEM programs stop at theory.
STEM on Track goes further.

✔ Real equipment
✔ Real systems
✔ Real teamwork
✔ Real outcomes

Students experience the full journey—from concept and construction through to performance and driving—building both technical capability and confidence along the way.

• Weekly hands-on sessions at The Makers 
• Full access for the remainder of the 2026 school year 
• 12 months of gamified online STEM learning modules 
• A final track driving experience 
• GreenSTEM Education x STEM on Track merchandise pack 
• Recognition of achievement 

• Students in Grades 4–10 (2026) 
• Beginners through to experienced STEM learners 
• Young people who want to learn by doing, not just listening 

No prior experience required.

STEM on Track is just one of the exciting STEM programs we offer for young people on the NW Coast.

Participants can continue their journey through:

• Greenpower Australia – design, build, and race electric vehicles 
• FIRST LEGO League & FIRST Tech Challenge 
• Maker Lab – advanced engineering, fabrication, and innovation 

Students who participated in STEM on Track 2025 are invited to continue their pathway in 2026, with access to exclusive track sessions and returning participant opportunities. 

Too many young people disengage from STEM because they don’t see its relevance.

STEM on Track changes that.

By connecting learning to a high-interest, real-world context, students:

• Build confidence in their abilities 
• Develop practical, transferable skills 
• Experience success through hands-on achievement 
• See clear pathways into future STEM opportunities
