education who will have the values, skills and attributes to
transfer this knowledge and passion to a variety of audiences. Thematic teaching brings into play real-life examples allowing the application of theory to be seen in context in the world around us. Thematic teaching has the advantage that it develops STEM creativity and understanding and widens opportunity for the
