Program eligibility
Living STEM is for eligible Pilbara schools and educators in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.
Traditional Owner groups and Indigenous community organisations who are interested in the program are encouraged to contact the Living STEM team at any time to discuss participation.
Program outcomes
Recognising that Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples have an ongoing relationship with science and engineering dating back thousands of years, we co-design the program closely with Community partners and Elders, ensuring Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander knowledges, technologies and process are an integral part of science teaching.
Living STEM is another way to connect students to science in a meaningful and culturally interconnected way, driving greater increases in attendance, reconciliation, subject participation and nurturing of interests into STEM higher education and careers. As of November 2023, 22 schools in the Pilbara region completed Living STEM program community projects.
