Careers With STEM: Indigenous

Celebrating the contributions of Indigenous people in STEM, historically and into the future, and inspiring the next generation.

We acknowledge the rights and ownership of the Traditional Owners of the land and pay our respects to Indigenous elders past, present and emerging. We also acknowledge the deep history of science and technology of First Peoples everywhere.

Check out our special edition! Careers with STEM: Indigenous 2024

Careers with STEM’s Indigenous-only student career guide is designed to inspire young Indigenous students in Australia and New Zealand to pursue STEM courses and careers. The magazine celebrates and showcases the science, technology, engineering and maths that busts stereotypes about who works in STEM and what those jobs look like, while providing an Indigenous-first and inclusive viewpoint of STEM.
