The Indigenous STEM Education Project aims to increase participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
The Indigenous STEM Education Project is made up of six program elements that target Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students as they progress through primary, secondary and tertiary education, and into employment.
The Indigenous STEM Education Project is a five-year project funded by BHP Foundation and implemented by CSIRO. The Project aims to increase participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and supports STEM studies and careers. Over 16, 000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, 680 teachers and 155 schools have been engaged across remote, rural and urban Australia since 2015.
From individual students soaring to success after attending summer schools to award winners changing the world with their research to transforming how maths and science is taught to students.
Since the Indigenous STEM Education Project began in 2014, we have engaged with over 16,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and 680 teachers. We have also had 20 Indigenous STEM Award winners who are all STEM ambassadors.
During the course of this five-year project, detailed monitoring and evaluation is being undertaken to improve practice and share lessons more broadly.
The Indigenous STEM Awards recognise, reward and celebrate the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and scientists who are studying and working in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) field.
