Sharing with our students the love of the Earth, the importance of it and of resources which sustain our lives – by reading rocks, we understand how our Earth evolved and use the evidence to protect us into the future.  
 
In #therealclassroom students tune into the Earth, their curiosity is ignited and lifelong learning begins.  Awaken the scientist in kids, move them onto deeper thinking and learning in contextually-set, authentic, relevant and meaningful environments and they will apply this knowledge and skills turning situations into solutions:  Hands-on Science, Hands-on Engineering – this is real STEM Learning.

I first discovered CoRE through an internship at Curtin University, where I was introduced to their innovative approach to education. Drawn to their mission of bringing more hands-on, real-world learning into Australian classrooms, I continued my involvement as a volunteer, immersing myself in CoRE’s collaborative and inspiring culture.
I believe that learning by doing gives students the essential skills to thrive in life. I truly appreciate how this approach nurtures both academic and soft skills, properly preparing young adults for life beyond school. I’m proud to be a part of CoRE and I’m excited to continue contributing to projects that inspire and empower the next generation.

Growing up in Northern Canada, I became a fierce advocate for equal opportunities in education, which meant that teaming up with the not-for-profit CoRE Learning Foundation was important to me.
 
I joined the team to help offer exceptional STEM education and industry opportunities to regional and remote teachers and students in WA Today, I use my stakeholder engagement knowledge, fundraising, and sales experience to help solidify the CoRE Learning Model as a benchmark for hands-on learning in every classroom around Australia.

My most rewarding learning experiences have always been those deeply connected to real-world applications, as they’ve equipped me with practical skills for everyday life. With a background in the mining industry and games programming, coupled with experience in Project-Based Learning in schools, I see CoRE as the perfect platform to apply the skills I've developed throughout my own learning journey. I joined the CoRE team to help create hands-on learning opportunities that will prepare students for their future.
