Who We Are
Our goal is to make STEM pathways visible, accessible and meaningful to young Australians
STEM x CONNECT is a pathway-focused initiative designed to bridge the critical gap between classroom learning and real-world practice. Funded and supported by Jordan & Brooke K-12 Tutors.
Co-founded by David Benjamin Ewers and Devni Wanigaarachchi. Together, they bring expertise in engineering, education, and community engagement, with a shared commitment to strengthening pathway development into engineering and technical careers.

Our Workshops
Mission Engineering: Powering a Community
A one-day immersive workshop where students become engineering consultants. Imagine this: A growing regional town needs a resilient energy system. Your mission? Design it. Navigate the trade-offs between cost, reliability, environmental impact, and community needs. Then, present your recommendation. This isn't a science fair project. This is a day in the life of an engineer.
What Students Experience:
Full-day immersion in a university engineering facility.
A professional mission brief and design journal.
Hands-on modelling and testing – real tools, real constraints, real decisions.
Mentorship from industry professionals.
A final presentation – just like a real consulting firm.
Clear, actionable insight into engineering disciplines and career pathways.
