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 has a national footprint working with primary, secondary and tertiary students in remote, regional and metropolitan areas.
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 2015, over 17, 898 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, 1,755 teachers and 166 schools have been engaged across remote, rural and urban Australia.
During the course of this five-year project, detailed monitoring and evaluation is being undertaken to improve practice and share lessons more broadly.
A series of case study evaluation reports provide an in-depth examination of the programs that comprise the Indigenous STEM Education Project.
