THE ISSUE Building on-line STEM-focussed modules that engage and inspire primary teacher education students.  THE APPROACH Modules build on project partners’ experience with innovative, integrated content (e.g. Macquarie University’s Big History Institute) and authentic student-led investigation (e.g. Space2Grow). The outcome will be an integrated resource that could support a science and mathematics specialisation in the undergraduate primary teacher education program.
