Learn@Bosch is a Bosch (Australia) initiative designed to “spark enthusiasm for STEM” among Year 6 Primary School students. It aims to achieve this by providing a real-world and inspiring context for learning at its state-of-the-art headquarters in Clayton.

As a private company that is 92% owned by a charitable foundation, this initiative aligns with the Bosch Group’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and supporting education in related fields.

The two-hour fun and interactive program is offered to schools free of charge to allow their students to experience first-hand industry applications of STEM.

“The key to inspiring our children to aim high is to let them experience science in a real-world context: tackling problems, improving our lives.”
