AROSE’s Virtual and In-person STEM Training and Awareness (AVISTA) Program
Supported by the Department of Defence’s School Pathways Program, our AVISTA School Pathways Program will offer a range of engaging STEM learning experiences for students, teachers and families throughout 2025.
This free, curriculum-linked initiative provides students in Years 7–12 with valuable insights into STEM and defence industry careers. It explores the role of aviation, robotics, AI and autonomous systems in defence, highlighting how these fields can lead to exciting careers in tomorrow’s advanced, high-tech industries.
School Visits
AVISTA will be bringing free in-person science and STEM careers shows to over 200 high schools across Australia (including rural and regional areas) in 2025, delivered by our project partner, Fizzics Education.
Learn more or register your school for a free visit.
