26 Years Of Pioneering

“Australia needs more highly skilled technical professionals who are both innovative and creative. Every major innovation is the result of individuals with a strong foundation in STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. But the challenge lies in making these subjects both appealing and engaging to our young people. The Re-Engineering Australia Foundation (REA) is addressing this by making STEM relevant and exciting. Their programs integrate world-class technology with hands-on learning and industry collaboration. As a result, math and science classes are filling up, students are requesting after-school sessions, and they’re even eager to attend school during holidays.”

Our Vision

REA was founded with a vision to:

• Develop revolutionary, hands-on applied learning programs that create pathways for student engagement and skill-building.
• Incorporate essential employability skills, such as teamwork, collaboration, problem-solving, self-promotion, and public speaking, into these programs.
• Provide young people with access to world-class technology used in industry.
• Inspire interest in and understanding of careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
• Foster collaboration between schools, industry, TAFE, universities, and parents, aiming to transform the educational experience.
• Equip young people to become highly employable and globally competitive.
• Contribute to establishing Australia’s reputation as a leading Innovation Centre on the world stage.

Dr. Myers brought his concept to like-minded leaders in business, government, and education, all of whom agreed to support the initiative. Among these was the Department of Defence, which oversees billions of dollars in high-tech engineering projects across the nation. With over 100 technical career paths available, the Department is eager to inspire smart young minds to pursue fulfilling careers in shipbuilding, aerospace, and land vehicles.

The founding patron of REA was the Honourable John Button MP, the architect of the Button Plan for Australia’s automotive industry.

Since its inception, more than 3,000,000 students have participated in one or more
