Closing the gender gap in STEM
With women representing less than 16 percent of Australia’s engineering workforce and only 28 percent of IT roles, the Coral Lab is helping to close the gender gap in STEM. Through immersive and practical learning experiences, students develop the skills to experiment, innovate and problem solve, preparing them for the careers of tomorrow in technology, science and design.
