About the Presenter:

Steve Grant’s  passion for teaching science has taken him across the state. He’s worked at Scitech as an Outreach Presenter and now, as Professional Learning Consultant, works alongside teachers sharing with them best practice teaching in science and STEM.

Steve has a degree in law, chemistry and education, but he’s not done with learning just yet.

“I have a real curiosity about the universe, and I love igniting that same curiosity and fascination in students and teachers alike.”

Steve’s a “more-questions-than-answers” man, and if you believe it’s the journey, not the destination, you’ll enjoy his workshops that encourage playing with purpose, storytelling, and asking lots and lots of questions.
