Stories from alumni and coaches

Curious Minds made me far more comfortable being a female in STEM and it gave me the confidence to apply and get into further programs and experiences, such as work experience at CSIRO. I did work experience at CSIRO during October of 2020. Due to the pandemic, this was completed online, but I was still able to talk to many industry professionals and learn so much about CSIRO.

Cynthia completed the Curious Minds Program last year, she is now in year 11, studying Biology, Physics, and Specialist Math.
The fields of science and mathematics had always greatly interested me throughout school. Attending Curious Minds introduced me to the concept of STEM and its possible future, and thus a strong passion for it was ignited in my heart. I began to desire more scientific knowledge, which led me down the path of the foundations of medicine and healthcare.
