Classroom strategies for inclusive STEM learning environments.

Building a diverse science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce is critical for economic growth and prosperity, with STEM-skilled jobs growing 1.5 times faster than any other job sector (Australian Academy of Science, 2019). However, globally, only 35% of students enrolled in STEM are women (UNESCO, 2017) and only 16% of women make up the STEM-skilled workforce in Australia (Australian Academy of Science, 2019).
