Details of the event:
Science, technology, engineering and maths (S.T.E.M.) are ancient knowledge. Because we know that Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the oldest living culture in the world, the sciences, technologies, engineering and maths knowledge and practices are the most developed and sophisticated on this planet.
The Summit this year is festooned with an incredible line up of Aboriginal experts in STEM. The presentations will leave you with lots of ideas and practical ways to embed Aboriginal approaches to STEM in your service. You’ll leave with a sense of empowerment to ensure that you are bringing Aboriginal knowledge and practices into every corner of your program.
When and where is the Aboriginal S.T.E.M. summit?
