STEMHUB was thrilled to announce the return of the STEM Awards on 14th November 2025. This event was dedicated to recognising and celebrating the exceptional companies, educators and individuals who made a conscious effort to bring STEM opportunities to our region. It was a night where the spotlight shone on those who drove innovation and inspired the next generation. We were thrilled to have local comedian Steffen Peddie as our host for the evening.
