MAXIMISE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES WITH STEM!
75 per cent of the fastest growing jobs require STEM skills! We hear this a lot. But what does it really mean?
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) helps us understand and make sense of the world. It provides the tools to cure deadly diseases, design future proof cities and make sense of increasing volumes of data and new technologies. Studying and working in STEM equips you to solve problems, shape lives and build futures. It’s about having the agility to embrace the new and creativity to innovate tomorrow.
Choose maths today and be ready for the amazing careers of the future.
Girls are nearly 50% less likely to study advanced level mathematics in Year 12 than boys – Let’s change this!

Delivers
ESA
In collaboration with Education Services Australia (ESA) AMSI developed a series videos which showcased exciting applications of mathematics: gene mapping, cryptography, braking distance and the Google PageRank algorithm. Each video was accompanied by a comprehensive set of notes that explains in more depth the mathematics underlying these real-life applications.
Careers and
Outreach
Boeing Australia
Boeing Australia allowed AMSI to support teachers in the Footscray region in an outreach capacity, host a national roadshow of aerospace careers events hosted in Melbourne, Brisbane and Townsville which gave students an in depth look into careers in the industry and develop a new series of Maths Delivers videos for classrooms which explain the use of mathematics in a range of industry settings.
