Episode 284: Rocking the Classroom with Hands-On Science

This week we chat with Jo Watkins, CEO of Australian Earth Science Education (AusEarthEd), a national not-for-profit bringing Earth and Environmental Science to classrooms around the country. From metro Perth to remote communities in the NT, Jo and her team are delivering hands-on STEM education through school incursions, teacher PD, and curriculum-aligned resources. We talk about Jo’s journey from science teacher to education leader, the challenges of engaging students in Earth science, and what it takes to grow a grassroots program into a national success.
