From humble beginnings in a garage, STEM Punks emerged from a desire to make STEM education engaging and accessible. Founders Fiona and Michael Holmstrom, recognising a gap in traditional education, started by running after-school coding and robotics classes for local kids. Their innovative approach, blending STEM with design thinking and real-world problem-solving, quickly resonated with parents and educators.

Fueled by a mission to "Inspire Tomorrow's Innovators," STEM Punks expanded rapidly. What began as a local initiative in Australia soon garnered international recognition, attracting industry partnerships with major organisations like Orica and Lockheed Martin. Through online programs and school workshops, STEM Punks has now delivered its unique educational experiences to students across the globe, transforming from a garage project into a global force in STEM education.
