Why_the_project_is_needed

This program is being funded by the BHP Billiton Foundation and implemented by CSIRO. It aims to improve the participation and achievement of Torres Strait Islander students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects across Australia.

This program is needed because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across Australia are underrepresented in tertiary courses in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and we believe that that significantly limits their options in terms of careers and life choices
