The STEM Challenge

Don’t Miss The STEM Challenge !

To celebrate National Ag Day, PIEFA in collaboration with our member partners bring to you an exciting series of STEM challenges that teachers and students can engage with to develop food and fibre skills.
The collection of STEM challenges will continue to be expanded into the future and we would appreciate your feedback and comments on these challenges.
