- Learn how to develop students’ growth mindset to STEM subjects
- Develop confidence and skills in teaching about STEM career education
- Develop confidence and skills in teaching the Digital Technologies curriculum

The MIE project is extremely valuable on so many levels. It allows pre-service teachers to hone their skills and it makes a daunting topic accessible for unskilled teachers and students. It also shows a clear pathway for students to follow in terms of advancing their education in the STEM areas.
