South Africa is facing a national crisis – a growing shortage of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals and practitioners. In response, STEMulator.org, a groundbreaking, free, online platform, is stepping up to transform how young learners experience maths and science learning – and to reignite passion for STEM subjects, study fields and careers.
Born from the vision of the National Science and Technology Forum of South Africa (NSTF), the STEMulator encourages children of all ages to pursue STEM-related subjects and careers. It is designed to operate on several platforms and devices to reach even the most remote areas – and the most sophisticated.
Packed with vibrant visuals, revealing animations, and informative diagrams, STEMulator.org is not just another educational tool, it’s a dynamic, immersive, virtual landscape where learners can explore, discover, learn and uncover the hidden world of STEM using its simple unique visual navigation system.
Launched as a gift to the youth of SA, the STEMulator.org is designed to engage learners where they are – curious, digitally engaged, and eager to learn – and prepare them for making life-changing subject choices that could define their futures.
“The future of our country depends on a skilled, STEM-literate generation,” said NSTF. “With your help, we can inspire tomorrow’s scientists, engineers, technologists, innovators, and problem-solvers – today.”
