ANSTO STEAM Activities

ANSTO’s online STEAM activity resources encourage creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by incorporating the arts (the A in STEAM). 

These resources are based on the popular STEAM club online activities that were so effective in engaging children in active STEM investigations. Now you can have access to these activities at home or in the classroom, so you can do them at your convenience. You might like to use them during the school holidays! We hope you enjoy using these resources to explore science beyond the curriculum, with a creative approach. Only common items found around the home are needed, plus your imagination!

We will be adding new activities at the end of each term. So, watch this space for more engaging and creative STEAM experiences coming soon!
