Past and Future Activities

Mag-Net Online Association of STEM Educators Incorporated.  We have just presented at CONASTA66

We were pleased to raise the issue of STEM at the Science Teachers' Conference ... but nothing appeared at MAVCON in 2013.  John presented the use of "open-ended" maths software at  MAVCON 2014 in December 2014.  We propose to talk about the incorporation of device programming at MAVCON 2015.

Here is the official photo of our meeting that announced the Victorian Incorporation of Mag-Net in 2013.  Thank you Karen, David, John ( left ) Gary Roland and Rob ( on the right ).  Aaron sent his apologies.  Mag-Net is the first registered STEM educators association of  in Australia!  Can you join?
