STEMM is a passport with Renae Sayers
When is the last time you experienced wonder? Wonder is an incredible thing to experience as a child, and no less incredible as a grown-up. It's an open door that can lead to new opportunities and help you make sense of the world around you. You just have to let yourself step through it with an open mind and a willingness to find out more. Renae Sayers is Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Curtin University School of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Join us as we speak about debriefing with the stars, embracing wonder and the process of enquiry, and how STEMM is a passport that you can use to navigate your future.
