STEMM Strolls - Sunshine Coast 2026

STEMM Strolls, founded by Women in STEMM Australia, bring together STEMM students and professionals in regional communities to connect, share experiences, and grow their networks. Whether you're looking to meet new people, find a mentor, explore career opportunities, or simply connect with others who understand your journey, STEMM Strolls offer a relaxed and welcoming space to do just that.

By sharing the diverse experiences of women in STEMM, these gatherings help build a stronger sense of community, support, and belonging. They create opportunities for meaningful conversations and connections that can make a real difference, especially in regional areas where networking opportunities can be harder to access.

We're excited to welcome Professor Kerrie Wilson, Queensland Chief Scientist, as our special guest. A passionate champion for science, innovation, and the people behind it, Kerrie will join us for the stroll and networking, sharing her insights and experiences while connecting with the Sunshine Coast Women in STEMM community.

Every conversation, new connection, and shared story helps build a more inclusive and equitable future for women and girls in STEMM. We hope you'll join us for a stroll, a chat, and the chance to be part of this growing community.

We are grateful to Inspiring Australia Queensland and the University of the Sunshine Coast for supporting this event.
