STEMM Strolls – aiming to bring STEMM students and professionals together in regional areas. Local get togethers to find new networks, find mentors, and support groups especially in regional areas where it is hard to do so.
Sharing intersecting diverse experiences from the women in STEMM community through STEMM Strolls provides an opportunity to strengthen the status of women and girls in STEMM. Bringing the community together is a step in the right direction for gender equality.
On 1 November 2024, Dr Nikki Sims-Chilton, Board Director, led a vibrant STEMM Stroll along the waterfront at Cotton Tree on the Sunshine Coast. A group of 20 women basked in the sunshine, mingling and sharing their passion and professional experiences in STEMM fields as they enjoyed the scenic walk (followed by a cold drink!).
“It was truly inspiring to witness a group of brilliant women from diverse STEMM backgrounds come together in my new hometown of the Sunshine Coast. These strolls are more than just walks; they’re a testament to the vibrant community we’re building in the STEMM sector.”
Dr Nikki Sims-Chilton, Board Director

Women in STEMM Australia acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. First Nations people have practised science for over 65,000 years. Our first scientists passed on the lessons of the land, sea and sky, to the future scientists of today through stories, song and dance. They call this caring for Country. If you care for Country, the Country will care for you.
