When asked about school science classes, most people recall beakers and bunsen burners. While setting stuff on fire is always fun, science class today, and especially a Stile science class, is about so much more. From lab-grown meat, to the gut-brain axis, or computer-brain implants to working out how we’ll feed a colony on Mars and beyond, Stile is the school science curriculum preparing our young citizens for the world they’re living in. It’s about equipping them with the critical thinking skills and problem solving tools needed to tackle the big issues of today, and tomorrow. We think young people everywhere deserve this sort of world-class science education. More than 1 in 3 Australian secondary schools use Stile’s science curriculum to explore and analyse the science behind the big issues facing us globally. Every week, over 250,000 students from around Australia, and increasingly the United States, use Stile’s current-edge technology platform in their classrooms. Stile empowers teachers with everything they need to deliver a relevant, engaging and rigorous science education for their students (yes, even the beakers and bunsen burners, they’re still important).
