About Stile

We have a vision for more interesting, rigorous and inclusive science education for Australian students. Imagine a world where mundane tasks like lesson planning are taken care of, and teachers are offered plenty of support to be full-time classroom superheroes Stile is Australia's only complete, end-to-end program for Years 7-10 science. It offers meticulously crafted lesson-by-lesson teaching plans, printable revision resources, videos, questions, simulations and practical activities. It's what we wish we had when we were teaching. Built upon our world-class teaching and learning platform, Stile is updated weekly with the latest in science and technology.

At our foundation, we encourage kids to think critically about the world around them and make evidence-based decisions for themselves and their community. For more information, have a read of our
'why'

Over 40% of Year 7-10 students in Australia use Stile, and we expect this number to continue to grow in the coming years. That's quite some reach, and it's a responsibility we take very seriously.

The Stile team is made up of 80+ incredible teachers, scientists, artists and engineers who genuinely care about, and are working towards, improving scientific literacy amongst our young citizens.

That's where you come in.
