Australian Indonesian Institute Grant
We would like to thank the Australia-Indonesia Institute for accepting our application: Strengthening Australian Indonesian Connections. We are very excited that we will be able to create a STEMINIST community in Jakarta with teachers, pre-service teachers and students.The first trip to Jakarta was in early October when three academics took the Wigglebot activity to work with the amazing educators at the Universitas Negeri Jakarta.
We had a wonderful time and the Educators from the Universitas Negeri Jakarta were so hospitable and helpful. Behind the scenes they created 400 Wigglebot kits for pre-service teachers and for the students from 4 schools, they made sure everyone had food and drink during the experience and even took us shopping. Particular thanks to the fabulous Dr Yuli Rahmawati in red and the irrepressible Ella who took over 1000 photos. Thank you all -
