Hi! I am Gerard Bennett. I have an honors degree in Architectural Technology. I have worked in the profession for eight years working in various sectors including transport, healthcare, education and housing. In 2021, I began a Professional Master’s in Education with the hope of becoming a teacher in Technology subjects. I am interested in visual graphics and construction technology. I have carried out research, exploring the challenges and opportunities in STEM Education. I hope to gain a greater understanding of STEM education and how I can implement it into my lessons.

When working as an Architectural Technologist, I utilised different aspects from each of the STEM disciplines. This was important in order to solve complex problems and come up with innovative solutions. I have fist hand experience of STEM at work and working with other STEM professionals. It is because of this experience, I understand why it is essential. As I begin my teaching career, I want to work as hard as I can to deliver effective STEM education and highlight to my students the vast possibilities available to them from learning STEM.
